Re: [all-audio] corrupted files
Aha. I should try that with the supposed discord sound files too as they have no extension and I can't even figure out what format theyr'e supposed to be.

I don't find goldwave plays nicely with corrupted files -- the processing usuallyc rashes with an error. I think your best bet might be VLC. It is pretty robust and doesn't fall down easily.
