I use pd under windows. For crossfading I tried to load a list of sample filenames from a textfile "wavs.txt".

The following error-message occured:

opening:: symbol C:/ort/wavs.txt
soundfile_info_read-error: C:/ort/1.wav has a format-chunk not equal to 16
caching: 69 C:/ort/1.wav 1000 10000 0 0 132300

The "1.wav" was created with the Windows Audio-Recorder as a stereo-44100kHz-wav. How can I solve the problem? What does the message tell to me?

Thanks for help,
Martell.

i am not sure. but .wav files made with audacity work fine for me in pd:

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

how are you loading in the filenames? into what object?

The reason was recording only one channel in a stereo-wav.
The problem disappeared after reduction to a mono-wav.
