WAV Files

This is for an Access project!

Does anyone know of a way to graph a WAV file or to numerically represent a WAV
file? I'm looking for a way to compare different WAV files.

Harold,

PC Datasheet has expressed an interest in working on this problem. I
emailed him explaining that the code for the histogram program I sent
him contains almost everything he needs to be able to graph the data
as a pdf file. I also offered him advice about which pdf graphing
operators to use once he gets an idea of what the data looks like. If
he is not able to do what you need, post back here and I'll take a
look at it. The pdf operators allow for a huge variety of colors in
case you need to compare many WAV files at the same time.

Hi Harold,
I have the same problem as you but I don't know any way to graph a wav file
(do you to visualize the graph obtained by the wav file?), but I am interest
in the eventually answers you'll get. Please send me the answers?
Thanks
Bernd

I'd say the implementation depends on what the user is trying to do.
Complete WAV data for a typical song could easily reach over a million
data points. Even with text compression that would make a pdf file a
worse choice than using the Win32 API functions to create a Device
Context and populate a bitmap. If the user doesn't need every sample
or just needs a few seconds of music then the graph as a pdf file can
be smaller than an equivalently sized bitmap. Plus, does the user
require pitch information?
