> Example — Re-encode WAV using ffmpeg Some WAV files [have an invalid structure](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/how-to-check-files-for-errors/44633) or extra junk bytes at some RIFF chunks so re-encoding the file might fix the problems. You can use the excellent [ffmpeg](http://ffmpeg.org/download.html#build-windows) command line utility as a user-defined tool from within Mp3tag. Name wav2wav Path Please locate the path of your ffmpeg.exe Parameter -i "%\_filename\_ext%" "%\_folderpath%\%\_filename%\_out.wav"
