Topic: Missing "FMT" chunk

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Can anyone explain to me what that means??? Seems that everytime i complete a mixed session on wave format, and i try to play it back on winamp i recieve this message: Missing FMT chunk, and i can't play it back because it is not wave supported.

Help please. Thanks. MKJ

The FMT chunk is the "container" where the wave data is saved in. It contains the information where the file begins, where it ends and how long it is.

If it is missed, the recording was not ended properly. If you record with AtomixMP3, be sure you click on the record button to end the session, before you shut down AtomixMP3.

To restore the wave, you can find some information in the german forum or in the web. You need to edit the file with a Hex editor.
