Its strange to me how SC can't read this since its made with audacity (which afaik uses libsndfile too). Could it be that audactity is messing it up so that SC can't read it? I doubt that thats the reason though as other programs can read and play this file (i.e. ecasound). Karsten -- -- http://krgn.goto10.org
