Wave Header Repair Utility

WavHead is a simple utility which takes a sound file and replaces its Wave header. This program should not be used with other file types as it is likely to cause irreversible damage. It should be used with Wave files with care. Only 16bit PCM data is supported and the soundfile is assumed to contain nothing but audio data in a single RIFF data block.

WavHead is a a self-contained program forming part of MNLib, a set of C++ libraries and programs for audio processing and music. MNLib is designed with portable C++ code for use on Linux, Microsoft platforms and others. WavHead, MNLib and their documentation are Copyright 1999-2000 Richard W.E. Furse (all rights reserved).
