Well, sndfile-info writes the word 'tempo' but I'm not completely comfortable that we know where the tempo values are. Both of the examples I provided say 120BPM. Unfortunately neither loop library is actually recorded at that tempo! > > i'm afraid of what the "??" could mean :) and whether Erik will break or > change the SFC_GET_LOG_INFO output string layout on any other libsndfile > release ;) > I'll promise you that "??" means 'I don't know, this is a place holder for the future', or something like that. Again, this has been at least 4 years since Erik and I did this because I was living in a different house and we bought this current house in July, 2004. That said I think Eirk and I had identified a list of things to at least look for in the files and some of what's in sndfile-info's output today is just that list. We still need to find things. I feel like I could be of more help if someone trained me to use some tools. Are there any simple tools for looking at the contents of a wave file and getting just the header portion? I found hexedit but there's little contextual info there so I'd need to know more about wave formats themselves. I'd be happy to take some spare time and look at files to see if I can find some patterns if I can find some tools someone like me can use. - Mark _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
