ResultReading the safe sample
Reading the signatureThe file is not opened or run.

A useful hint, not proof. A matching signature does not prove that a file is complete, valid, or safe. This tool does not scan for viruses.

Three simple steps

How to use it

  1. Open the file that should contain audio.
  2. Review the detected format and MIME type.
  3. Do not treat the result as a full media check.
