Greetings, this is my first post (question) and I apologise if I have posted in the wrong section or in some other irregular way.
The issue I have is that some files that I download from the internet display the above-captioned message and will not play until I dismiss the error message, whereupon they appear to play perfectly well.
I am using Van Basco's player, running on a windows XP computer.
I would like to know how to fix this issue so that I don't have to dismiss the error message everytime that I play the sequence. I have attached one of the files in question (zipped).

That file is indeed damaged; a zero byte at the end was missing.
In general, you'd have to load the file in a sequencer (hoping that it is as tolerant as vanBasco) and save it again.

Another possible way to fix the file is to use a hex editor like HxD like this:
1. Open the file in the HxD.
2. Press Ctrl+End to go to the end of the file. (Notice how the file ends with FF 2F. It should end with FF 2F 00 which is an End of Track message.)
3. Type 00 to add a single zero byte.
4. Save the file.

Thank you "Bavi_H", the hex editor does what I wanted.:)

Confirmed, the file is corrupted, lacking a zero byte at the end. Typically, you would need to load the file into a sequencer, with the hope that it possesses the same tolerance as vanBasco, and proceed to save it anew. whatsapp aero indir
