I don’t have a lot of hope, but here are some tools that can diagnose and fix some MP3 problems: You might try a different file recovery tool. Importing the raw data isn’t going to work because in that case Audacity is looking for uncompressed PCM data.* The “raw” MP3 data is encoded in a way that it’s not recognizable as audio at all unless it’s properly decoded.

If these raw settings do not work what else can i do?.

MME, Speakers, Microphone, 2 (stereo) input channels, 44100 Hz, 32-bit float.Ī working dictaphone MP3 file in VLC player gives the following Codec properties.Ī working dictaphone MP3 file in Abobe Audition gives the following properties. In Audacity both the corrupt and a working dictaphone MP3 file give the following properties: I’ve tried importing the file (not recognised), then importing the raw data - with the raw data i tried a few settings but didn’t know the exact settings to use e.g.

no sound/noise, wavelengths.Īlso, the dictaphone file should be over an hour long but is imported with less time e.g. When it imports into Audacity its blank, empty i.e. The file format is MP3 sound format and the size is 99MB - it has no length when displayed in Windows explorer. The file was deleted/moved from a memory stick and i recovered it using Recuva recovery software.

(the file doesn’t open in win media player, adobe audition etc)

I am trying to import an dictaphone MP3 file that is corrupt.
