Sound, opening and editing

[zigs]

Hello, I'd like to know if any of you know how to open soundfiles and reading them instead of just loading them as actual sounds. The programming language doesn't really matter (.net wins), as long as there is a way to open up the file, look at the data, and edit them. Another thing: Is there a guide somewhere about the structure about fileformats? would be kinda helpful too.

Well, I'm not sure how to edit sound files, nor what analysis/changes can be made to them without opening them as sound files.

The first step I would suggest however is to look at the file in a hex editor. On an mp3 for example this gives you the option to edit the ID3 and ID3v2 tags. Although be careful of how big each field is.

I think you will find information about the file format and such in other sound files.

Has google been down? Searching for instance for 'wav file format' gives these and more:
