Then that's not a WAV file, in the traditional sense (uncompressed
digital audio).  It's an MP3 file.  Dunno why they do that, I can't see
any good reason for an MP3 file to masquerade as a WAV file.

Since MP3 is proprietary, Fedora doesn't support it.  However, you can
add MP3 support by getting packages from outside of Fedora.

e.g. See:  http://rpmfusion.org/

Not sure what's needed to get MP3 support into K3B, I don't use it.

Try changing the subject line to "adding MP3 support to K3b," if you
can't resolve this yourself, and you might attract the attention of
someone with the answer.
