    I think PCM wav files are normal WAV files. Anybody else?

        A standard uncompressed wav is PCM wav. But then again, it depends who defines the standards :D

        There are many types of .wav files.

        Not knowing what your problem is, it's a bit hard to point you to a solution.

        If you have installed dMC then when you hover over the file that you are considering whould give you the information about its type, and that should help in deciding what you may need.

          PCM and Riff are normal wave files.

            So in fact a PCM wav file is a RIFF wav file? http://ccrma.stanford.edu/CCRMA/Cour...ts/WaveFormat/

              PCM is Pulse Code Modulation, ie uncompressed.

              Riff is (cannot remember the acroynm) the file format of a wave file, you have data chunks (header), infact you can save any type of data into a wave file. Eventually dMC will be able to write ID Tags to a wave file.

                RIFF = Resource Interchange File Format

                Yep, it seems that all wav files have the sequence RIFF right at the start.


                Many other types of file are also RIFF files:

                ANI for animated cursors
                AVI for videos
                BND file bundles
                DXR Macromedia Director Files (notice: Network byte order!)
                PAL for color palette information
                RDI for bitmaps
                RMI for MIDI
                WAV for digital audio
                from http://www.daubnet.com/formats/RIFF.html and other Googled resources.
