A strange audio file can't be played correctly.

Windows 11
foobar2000 v2.24.1 x64

Recently, I've download a music pack rip from the game "Aliens versus Predator 2"
Inside the 7z package, there are two "mp3" can't be played correctly and with wrong playback length.
Code: [Select]
Misc_Track25_CP3S1A.mp3
RCD08_CP4S3B.mp3
I know foobar2000 maybe determine format and codec using extention name and these two audio file maybe not MP3,
So I open them with MPC-HC and it claim these two audio are:
Code: [Select]
Audio: PCM 44100Hz stereo 1411kbps [A: pcm_s16le, 44100 Hz, 2 channels, s16, 1411 kb/s]
Now, at least I know what the codec these two audio are, but still don't know the format.
I tried to rename the extension to wav from mp3, but foobar2000 can't open or enqueue it.

.wav except someone has attached ID3 tags to them. Not ID3 as RIFF chunk, but prepended an ID3 in front just like for MP3.

Open in Mp3tag, Ctrl-x to remove, then rename file to .wav, drag that into Mp3tag, select it, and paste tags back (Ctrl-v)

Thank you Porcus. This worked.
