This is fairly uncommon, but entirely possible. WAV is not a codec, it is a file format. I remember when MP3s first came out, people were using them as Windows System Sounds by installing something that would read MP3 data encoded into WAVs (since windows didn't know about .mp3). -- Theodore Reed (treed/bancus) www.surreality.us ------=_Part_2549_15942151.1164990271439 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline On 12/1/06, Timo Paulssen <timonator@perpetuum-immobile.de> wrote:

It strikes me as likely that those wav files have mp3 inside of them. This is fairly uncommon, but entirely possible. WAV is not a codec, it is a file format. I remember when MP3s first came out, people were using them as Windows System Sounds by installing something that would read MP3 data encoded into WAVs (since windows didn't know about .mp3).
