Fix Corrupted Audio Files (MP3, WAV, M4A & More)

Song won’t play, podcast cuts off, or recording is “file corrupted”? FixMyFile.ai can help repair damaged audio files so you can listen again.

Repair my audio file ↗

Drop your MP3, WAV, M4A or other audio file and let our pipeline try to fix headers and streams.

Common audio problems we see

File won’t open in any player.
Audio stops playing halfway through.
Only loud static or digital noise plays.
Playback freezes or crashes the player.

How to repair a corrupted audio file

Try this simple path first:

1. Go to FixMyFile.ai.
2. Drag and drop your broken audio file.
3. Use Smart Repair as the default option.
4. Wait while we analyze and rebuild container/headers.
5. Download the repaired file and try playing it again.

If the entire waveform has been overwritten with noise, recovery will be limited. But if the structure around your audio is what broke, we have a chance to fix it.

Why audio files corrupt

Some of the most common causes:

Interrupted recording on phones or handheld recorders.
Storage issues on SD cards and USB sticks.
Failed conversions between formats.
Crashes in DAWs or editing apps while exporting.

In many cases, the audio stream is still present but the container (MP3/WAV headers, metadata) is confused. FixMyFile.ai focuses on that structural layer.

Audio repair FAQ

Can you remove background noise?

Our main focus here is structural repair—making broken files playable again. Cleanup and noise removal is a separate task that you can do in a DAW after recovery.

Which formats work best?

MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC and other common formats are all good candidates. Exotic or proprietary formats may be harder to fix, but you can still try.

Do you change my audio quality?

When possible, we preserve the original encoded audio stream. If we have to transcode to another format to make it playable, there may be minor quality differences.

Do you keep copies of my audio?

Files are processed through our pipeline and prepared for you to download. We’re not building a music library—we’re here to fix broken files.
