I've also wondered about WAV files, but I want to know whether I can get them to play on the Captivate.

I have a MagicJack set up on my home computer and when someone leaves a voicemail message at that number, the MagicJack emails a notification with a WAV file attached of that voicemail. I had a Palm Treo before this that had Windows Media Player and whenever I opened the email attachment on my Treo the file was immediately routed to and played by the Windows Player. I haven't been able to get the file to work yet through any player available through the Apps for Droid. Am I missing something that will make this file play? Thanks.

 

I wonder if this is a common issue among 2.1 users, since it can't register all of the RAM the phone has...

 

As I'm new to Android I'm not sure what the difference would be with this file and the issue of 2.1 vs. 2.2. As I said I did have a Windows based Palm Treo before and this file attachment would easily play from my Palm into its Windows Media Player. Is there a similar work around, or player, that would make this file playable?

 

Perhaps instead of wrestling with the Captivate, perhaps address whatever archaic application is still spitting out WAV files? Ancient file format, and horrible for being uncompressed.

 

wav files play fine on my phone

 

I agree. Stock Voice Recorder sucks on Captivate. They need to get this fixed. The voice is over processes and it sounds as chipmunks.

For me Rehearsal Assistant works the best. You can chose .wav or .3gp.

 

I've been using TapeMachine and it's doing fine. It also has some basic editing capabilities.

 

How are you doing this? Do have an application that does this?
