.Wav Format

[amitraj]

Hello once again!
I think a lot help i need.
Would some body tell me, when an Audio player reads a file, say a .wav file, does it read it in HEX or in DECIMAL?
I am really unable to get this. I know the format of .wav files. And i want to write a .wav file.
Now i am facing problem to write. Should i start wiht RIFF or Its HEX counterpart or its DECIMAL counterpart.
If anybody has some information do tell me.
Thank you.
Regards. bye take care.

Amitraj,

The contents of the WAV format file are a combination of ASCII text and binary numbers. For example, the "RIFF" that you speak of, is actually stored as 4 ASCII characters, but the audio data is stored as binary. A very detailed description, with a file dump of an actual example WAV file, can be found at

The numerical contents of the file will normally be read in as bytes. The number of bytes per sample and the sample rate are specified in the header.
