can't play .wav files

Post by delboy007 »

I have imported a .wav file into my library. That plays with no problems. When I drop it into the music track I get the message "the content of these files is unreadable" and says it is corrupted. I know it is not corrupt and it plays in the preview window without problems

Nobody seems to have any ideas. How about sharing your .wav file in a cloud drive and someone may have some ideas about the issue.

I contacted support and was told that .wav files have a limit of 24 bit. I converted it and now it now works ok.
