What was a bit odd, is that both programs recovered a short (38 minute)

The recording desk isn't capable of writing WAV's, it only does mp3, so
not sure where this came from, unless both recovery program found a bit
of lost music and created a WAV to house it.

I think that's a good guess. Recuva is from before the MP3 encoding
patent expired, so if it recovered some audio, it would need a license
in order to convert it back to MP3 format. It's nice to know (or think)
that the program tries to do more than simply put together scrambled
file fragments. And recovering your audio as WAV files gives you more
flexibility in putting together as much as you can from the pieces.



The WAV doesn't show on the stick in Windows, just 3 mp3's.
