I tried ripping a CD to WAV using JRiver 19.0.146 and the WAV files don't have this problem.

Did you edit this file with a tagging program after ripping it? If so, the tagging program might have caused the problem. The other possibilty is that the file was ripped with an older version of JRiver that had a bug, but I can't find any reports of such a bug on the forums.

The mystery is solved. I found the following in the release notes for JRiver MC19:

19.0.57 (10/17/2013)
1. Fixed: When converting audio to WAV format, the RIFF chunk size could be set wrong by 8 bytes.

The file you uploaded was ripped using JRiver 19.0.32, so this is why the WAV file has an incorrect form size.

That explains most of it, there are still some files that were downloads from a few different sites and I still have the problem.

I did a WAV to WAV conversion on a few files and they work well. I am in the process of doing a batch conversion on the rest.

Kind of funny about JRiver since I have used it for ripping since JRiver 18 (probably 17).

Thanks. If you don't hear from me...
