How do I open a RIFX file

Unfortunately Magichat that looks like a RIFX file that is missing a ton of data:

$ hexdump -C ~/Downloads/CD01.txt | head

As you can see from the header bytes 4-8 in the file are claiming that the file size is 0x19970120 bytes which, in decimal, is 429326624 bytes (about 409MB) of data. That means that the file you have attached is not the whole file by a long shot.

 

If you could provide the entire file then I could convert it from RIFX format into RIFF format using some code I wrote. Otherwise you are free to use the code that I wrote to convert it yourself; it is open source. The reason why I came here is that I was looking for some legitimate RIFX files in the wild to test my code. So if you have some files that can be converted then I would be happy to see if my code works on them. Cheers.
