I need you guys!
I have a night-long, in-room recording that should be great, but the tablet's battery died and the 700Mb file can not be read by VLC or Audacity... I tried online converters to try and put it in wav or something, but it won't.
I think the hex index is fucked because of the shutdown that did not let the app (Android audio recorder) write it down properly. The thing is that I don't know how to fix the file; I just installed a hex editor software... I have a linux desktop, no Windows here.
Does anyone know how to fix this kind of error?
Please and thank you.

Re: Broken .m4a file
Hi there,
m4a files are encoded in either AAC or ALAC.
If it's AAC then maybe this thread can be of help:

Good luck!

Re: Broken .m4a file
Post the file someplace and have some people with Windows PC's have a look at it. There are a lot of tools, do a quick google search, but most of them seem to be Windows based, or require Windows based tools. You may be able to play with some of the tools under wine.
