Greetings,

I'm new to this forum, having just found it by searching for a tool that would read through a directory of wav files and let me know if any of them are corrupt. I found this discussion from 2004 -- [ http://www.audiobanter.com/showthread.php?t=531 ] -- which I found very helpful.

My question now is this: What's new? New tools must have been created in the past 7 years that can open a wav, read the formatting data in the header, confirm that it is a valid wav format, and do some sort of diagnostics on the file as a whole.

I have a background in IT, but I'm not an audio guy by training. Now I find myself trying to help a non-profit archive backup and safeguard their audio files. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much,
Walter
