Need help converting a .wav RIFF WAVEfmt to MP3

I have a couple of .wav files from a Palm Pilot or possibly an old Windows Pocket PC that are in the format of a .wav RIFF WAVEfmt file. I can't play them, and would like to convert them to some modern, playable format.

Programs tried so far with no luck:

  • VLC
  • Quicktime
  • Windows Media Player
  • Da Vinci Resolve
  • Cool Edit Pro 2.0
  • FFMPEG
  • Max
  • XLD
  • Handbrake
  • Audacity
  • at9tool
  • XMedia Recode
  • Adobe Audition
  • DBPowerAmp Music Converter
  • NCH Switch Sound File Converter
  • pilot-wave (Linux)
  • Goldwave
  • SoX / SoXI
  • Python libraries: wave, soundfile, scipy.io.wavfile

Here are some details on the file:

  • RIFF WAVEfmt
  • Encoding: HP CU
  • Num Channels : 1
  • Sample Rate: 8000
  • Avg Bytes Per Sec: 300
  • Bit Rate: 2404
  • Codec Tag String: [25][0][0][0]
  • Codec Tag: 0x0019

I believe that it is the type of A.18 on this page:

Here is a link to a sample:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
