Hi Stanko,

As Robert pointed out, Apple has provided the AudioFile API. I don't like AudioFile for various reason, so I wrote my own very basic audio file support.

Hi, John,

I took a look at your sample code. Does it actually mean there is no standard system-level audio file code,
but you actually have to "re-invent" practically all the headers for all the types of chunks for AIFF/C files,
deal with endianness and sample width issue "manually", on a per file type basis,
then do the same thing for opening and closing and writing and reading literally all the other audio file
standards - not to mention error detection and correction issues. In other words, are the audio programmers
really being encouraged into writing each one's own proprietary audio file library, rather than using a system-level one, just because there is none, or because it's so well hidden that almost nobody believes it's there?

Stanko


Does the AudioFile API not count? I'm confused why everyone is ignoring it?

Robert.
