.mov audio

[Philidor]

A friend sent me an audio file converted from wav to mov. That's what it says: name.wav.mov. Clicked, Quicktime opens and it plays. Naturally, if I send it on to someone without Quicktime, it doesn't. I'd prefer to convert the file.
My video converter doesn't think it's a media file. I didn't see a codec here that would convert it. I'm wondering how a .wav got into .mov in the first place.
Any solutions?
Thanks.

Re: .mov audio

is it an audio file? if so just rename the extension to name.wav and see if you can play it.

Re: .mov audio

Too easy.
I did as you suggested, renamed it to .wav.
XMPlay, the default player, wouldn't recognize it. I navigated to the file using Open, clicked on it, and nothing happened, wasn't added to the playlist.
In the right click menu I selected Play with Media Player, and Windows Media Player 9 opened and played it. WMP 9 does not include .mov under Tools/Options/Files.
Then I right clicked again and tried to convert it to mp3 using dbPoweramp. I got an error message saying the file could not be opened.
Now I'm less sure than I was before of what this file is.
Any ideas? :confused:
