Files App - Audio icons. What is the difference between these two?
Hi Guys,
I’m having some issues using samples from iPad into another program that requires samples that are mono, 48k, 16 bit.
I’ve been converting samples within Audioshare & Auditor and somehow these seem to add 5kb to file size and then fail to load after.
I also noticed that the same sample then is shown with 2 different icons in the file app.
Anyone able to say what the difference between these 2 icons signifies? This may help me track down my conversion issues.
Cheers.

Get the info from files app. It will tell you the app extension.
When you say the apps add 5k what format, bit depth and sample rate are you converting from.
Can Auditor and Audioshare open the files after conversion?
The first one looks like an m4a or similar that’ll open in iTunes.
@SpookyZoo is one from Auditor and other from Audioshare maybe? and converted to different formats?
Hey guys. Thanks for comments.
They're both the same sample listed as WAV files. I think the Blue icon was exported from Auditor and Grey icon is how it was first displayed in iCloud.
The target program is playing the original grey sample that is 191kb. However when I export this sample from Auditor as the same mono, 16kb, 48khz, the file size is 195kb. So I'm wondering how it gains 4kb.
This same 4kb increase is seen when converting in Audioshare too.
Neither the Auditor or Audioshare 195kb will play in sampler program but the original 191kb will.
Not sure I'm asking the right questions. ATM I just wanted to put it out there and see why the same sample listed as WAV has the 2 different grey/ blue icons.
I'll keep on trying to figure it out with testing but happy to hear suggestions as I go. Cheers.
I'm not sure the icon has much significance. I have some mp3 and m4a files in File Explorer Pro, and it uses a colored 2-note icon for all of them. When I browse the same files from Hokusai, it uses the blue waveform icon. So it seems like the icon is selected by the app viewing the files.
But I wonder if the extra 4 Kb is some sort of metadata added by the conversion programs; data understood by them but not by your target program. You could see if you can export the converted file as a bare wav; maybe by directly sharing it with another app.
zip the files and upload them. I suspect that you inadvertently exported as a different file type, bit depth or sample rate than the original.
You can put both in Audioshare and see what it reports as the info for the two files.
Thanks guys. Definitely seems likely to be some kind of metadata.
I ran the samples through Audacity and they're back to 191kb file size and working now.
Just need to track down at what stage the metadata is added. Cheers.
