Hi i wor k in a radio station, Tamar Fm in Australia and we have used adobe audition 3.0 for many years now, yes it's old but reliable and simple to use and since yesterday the save format changed from PCM without the 25 in it..... Window PCM(*.wav.*bwf) ........          to now suddenly including the 25........ Window PCM(*25.*.wav.*bwf) ........    and it becomes unplayable as a wave file after what was recorded is saved and our radio system heavily relies on wave files rather than Mp3s and i understand there is wma but it's odd how this has changed to 25. Could anyone please help us with this issue. From the bottom of the world aka George Town, Tasmania, Australia i say Kudos in advance for reading this and any advice would be so much appreciated

From a distant memory, IIRC you have to retype the entire name of the file - including the extension - when you save it. That should alter the save default extension back to what it was.

Sounds like you might be onto something because what originally caused the 25 to become permanent was a typo with 25 in the file name, i'll try and see how we go, really appreciate your time to respond
