Why some MP3 or WAV files might not play

Song not playing?
This could be the issue:

World of Warcraft (Vanilla 1.12) has very strict audio support

• MP3 must use constant bitrate (CBR). If the file is variable bitrate (VBR), WoW often refuses to play it or may crash
• WAV must be uncompressed PCM (not compressed, ADPCM, or floating-point)
• Files that are too large, use unusual sample rates, or are encoded with the wrong codec will simply fail silently
• If your song doesn’t play in game, it’s usually because of the encoding format rather than the addon itself
