Opening .wav files in emails in iPad

If you search the store you will find a couple of apps that reportedly will play wav files. But, i also did a search in old forums, and wav voice mail playing was a fairly well reprted issue on the iphone, pre pad, and was fixed in ios2.

The problem then was that the provider was using a new and unsupported codec in their wav file. Does the system you are using to create the files have any output settings or options? This might be as simple as a non standard sample rate that you can adjust.

I also note that the native player in my pad plays wav files just file. I pulled a few from websites, and they all play.

What happens when you touch the e mail attachment? Does it not play, or do you get a message?

You can open WAV files with OPlayer HD.

If you have the same problem I was having, it is because the email was not fully downloaded and you need to scroll to the bottom of the email and click to finish downloading the message.

Then when you click on the .wav file, QuickTime should automatically launch and play the file.

Hope this helps.

This was my problem. Must scroll down to download the full message, then the wav file plays.

This is not a solution but rather a work around (if you have a gmail account). Forward the email to your gmail account. I don't know what is different, but I can open/play the same wav attachment when I select it from Gmail. It won't play for me when I select it in Web Outlook.

VLC works great. I know this is an old post but a problem I had to work out too.

Bingo ! Binkie your post rocks. I downloaded Vic from apps and opened the wav file in vlc piece of cake! Thanks for the last post ,

Awesome thanks
