trader's little helper ?
Is this pretty accurate to test a wav file ? to see if it's an mp3 or not? Seems pretty simple to use- just click on a wave file and press "test". No looking at spectral analysis (which I have no clue about). I've done a few files so far. It never says 100 percent that it's MPEG, but it did say 95 percent that the one file was MPEG. Sorry if this topic was covered before.

TLH isn't accurate to test for lossyness. It detects some bad ones but it fails in others. If you really want to know there is no way around FA and SA.

Re: trader's little helper ?
Ok. Thanks. So it's not accurate to test if it IS MP3, but how about when it says it IS 100 percent lossless? There is a chance it still could be MP3 sourced?

So Trader's Little Helper is a 100% accurate tool *except* when it comes to test a wav file for lossy source. And it's not TLH that's not accurate. TLH just acts as a graphical user interface for a free command-line application named auCDtect. In my experiences it is reliable when it comes to studio recordings (btw that's what it was developed for), but it often fails on live recordings. Anyway, use TLH only as a part of the puzzle. As said in other posts above, if you really want to know there is no way around frequency and spectral analysis. But sometimes even such techniques don't give you an obvious result. Just read some threads here and you'll see that sometimes even the experts are arguing about how to interpret the results. No members have liked this post.
