Thx again for your detailed report. I managed to pinpoint the exact problem, and im pretty sure it is fixed in v0.53. The problem was that there are multiple chunks, which each have their own size . The RIFF chunk is the filesize -8, and because the riffchunk was wrong ww did not accept the file. But the data chunk size was "correct". It is to small, but only a size that's to big, or a size of 0 would be rejected. Since ww sets the size to 0 if an sizeoverflow occures, it will reject the size, but other programs just set the size to an invallid number, so the size was not rejected.

Anyway, if you use the new version and select "ignore the size in the header" you're ok.

And to check if the problem is fixed, you only need to drop the wav into ww. If the length is displayed correct (2:10:12.459) , then it should run fine.
