hi stan,

may i ask how you made this determination?

i have long wanted to know how to decipher audio formats at the byte level.
or did you use the file cmd?

This is an mp3 file.  aplay doesn't know how to play those, it is a
simple low level application that can only deal with standard wav
formats.  Rename it with an mp3 extension instead of wav.  It isn't a
wav file.  Or run sox and convert it into a true wav file.
