I/O device error..

Lampdog wrote:Yeah I've ran across corrupt wave files before and they can stop the whole operation in it's tracks. I would take all the wave files to a wave editor and resave as wave file, and that works for me. I also don't save metadata in the wave.

i think your overlooking the fact it says 'i/o error " and cant be read by either a pc or mpc.

if i could open it to get wavs out i wouldnt have made this thread

cheers for replies Lampdog. i know your trying to help

Well, he's only had six years to sus it over. I wonder if he was formatting with the Akai OS. Bad news there...

I already realized the initial thread was old.

yeh, i am going to try recovering first, i think i should be able to see the contents on a recovery program, otherwise i've cut my losses.

Worst case is i lost 25 beats. a kick up the backside for not backing up my CF cards.

I can say though, now the initial anger and frustration has subsided, that my head feels really clear. i think losing these beats has refreshed me. and on the plus side, i have about 20 odd records to go back through and re-flip on fresh ears.

Corrupt files can wreak havoc.

Yeh word, i been slack lately, lucky slack for me is only 25 beats and not the other CF card, which has over 150..........

i backed it all again last night.

If anyone loses beats and needs consoling, im your man!
