Yes, just start Audition. It should find the file and ask you what you want
to do with it. Resuming the session is one of the options.

IME this feature is so reliable than when it fits, I just pull the plug on
the computer and run, and close the file later on.

Let me guess, the temp file was not on a NTFS-formatted disk?

My comments about near-bullet-proof recovery are based on NTFS disks.

IME, that never works.

My regrets.

I suspect that the format of the disk figuratively ate your file. This can
easily happen with FAT-based file systems. It's incredibly rare on NTFS
disks. That's not to say it can't happen, just that it is very rare.

It might be time to start the greiving process...

....and perhaps contemplate migration to XP.

Sorry.

Go into Windows Explorer and change the extension of the .tmp file to .wav
then open it in Audition. This has worked for me a couple of times.

Peace,

If the automatic recover doesn't work, there is still a tiny chance
that you will be able to recover it easily, and with some work the
chances are rather good. If you know the format and number of channels
of your recording you can restructure the temp-file into separate wave
files using some creative number crunching in your favorite scripting
language. I've managed to do it once even after the temp file was
deleted. I just read the raw disc sectors and then sorted out and put
together the stuff that looked like sound using a perl script. The
problem is that Audition use neither a uniform chunk size nor a
specified channel order, so you have to guess where the chunks start
and finish, and which channel it is. Lots of scripting fun!

If the recording was just mono or stereo, it could work just importing
the temp file as PCM raw data.
