Error: Importing raw audio

Linked This page is linked to in the Audacity app from the help button in the warning/error dialog.

Do not rename or delete this page unless and until the corresponding link in the app is changed. Pseudo renames can be achieved with a DISPLAYTITLE. If a rename is absolutely necessary then a redirect must be left behind.

This is essentially a landing page in the Manual for the handling of errors (via a help button) that occur in the Audacity application.

• There is also an entry in FAQ:Errors so that this page will get pulled into the released Manual.

You are very unlikely to encounter this error.

Bad data size. Could not import audio

You should not encounter this message in normal Audacity use.

This can only be produced with a carefully doctored bogus non-wav file.

Please see Importing Raw Data.

I [James] don't fancy spending time producing such.
