convert a wav file to a txt file - java

thanks for reading this
Well what I'm trying to do is to take a .wav file (only a short audio) and convert it to ints, and every one represent a tone of the audio...
If you're asking why I'm doing this, is because I'm doing an arduino project, and I want to make the arduino to play a song, and for doing that I need an int array where every int is a tone.
So I thought, "well if I program a little application to convert any .wav file to a txt where are stored the ints that represent the melody notes, I just need to copy this values to the arduino project code";
So after all this, maybe you're asking "What is your problem?";
I done the code and is "working", the only problem is that the txt only have "1024" in each line...
So it's obviously that I'm having a problem, no all the tones are 1024 -_-
package WaveToText;

Wait wait wait..... a lot of things aren't right here....
You can't just read the bytes and send them to Arduino because as you are saying Arduino expects note numbers. The numbers in a Wav file are, first the "header" with audio info, and then the numbers representing discrete points in the signal (Waveform). If you want to get notes you need some algorithms for pitch detection or music transcription.
Pitch detection could work if your music is monophonic or close to monophonic. For full band songs it would be troublesome. So... I guess the "Arduino part" will play monophonic music, and you need to extract the fundamental frequency of the signal in particular time moment (This is called pitch detection and there are different ways to do it (autocorrelation, amdf, spectral analisys)). You must also keep the timing of the notes.
When you extract the frequencies there is a formula to convert frequency into integer number representing a note number on a piano. n=12(log2(f/440)) + 49 where n is the integer note number and f is the fundamental frequency of the note. Before calculating you should also quantize the frequencies you get from the pitch recognition algorithm to the closest (google for the exact note frequencies).
However I really suggest to do some more research. It would be really difficult to detect note in a music where you have few instruments playing, drums, singer, all together....

while ((read = in.read(buff)) > 0)
{
Text.println(read);
}
This bit of code reads 1024 bytes of data from in, then assigns the number of bytes read to read, which is 1024, until the end of file. You then print read to your text file.
You probably wanted to print buff to your text file, but that is going to write 1024 bytes, rather than the 1024 ints you want.
You will need to create a for loop to print the individual bytes as ints.
while ((read = in.read(buff)) > 0)
{
for (int i = 0; i < buff.length; i++)
Text.print((int)buff[i]);
}

Play back sound in Kotlin/Java directly from generated sound array

I am looking for a way to generate and play back sound in Kotlin/Java. I have been searching a lot and tried different solutions, but it's not really satisfactory.
I'm not looking for the Java Control class, that lets me add reverb to existing sounds, or the javax.sound.midi package that lets me do MIDI sequencing. Instead, I want to build up sound from scratch as a sound vector/List, through something like this:
fun createSinWaveBuffer(freq: Double, ms: Int, sampleRate: Int = 44100): ByteArray {
val samples = (ms * sampleRate / 1000)
val output = ByteArray(samples)
val period = sampleRate.toDouble() / freq
for (i in output.indices) {
val angle = 2.0 * Math.PI * i.toDouble() / period
output[i] = (Math.sin(angle) * 127f).toByte()
}
//output.forEach { println(it) }
return output
}
I then want to play back the sound, and have the actual output of the speakers match the input parameters sent to the function with regards to frequency, length etc. Of course, creating two sound vectors like this with different frequencies should summing them together or at least taking the average should result in two tones playing simultanously.
This is simple enough in matlab, if you have a vector y, like this
t=0:1/samplerate:duration;
y=sin(2*pi*freq*t);
Just do
sound(y,sampleRate)
Although there might not be as simple or clean solution in Java, I still feel like it should be possible to play custom sound.
After searching around a bit here and on other places, this is one of the cleanest solutions I'm trying now (even though it uses sun.audio, the other suggestions were way messier):
import sun.audio.AudioPlayer
import sun.audio.AudioDataStream
import sun.audio.AudioData
private fun playsound(sound: ByteArray) {
val audiodata = AudioData(sound)
val audioStream = AudioDataStream(audiodata)
AudioPlayer.player.start(audioStream)
}
but playsound(createSinWaveBuffer(440.0, 10000, 44100)) does not sound right in my speakers. It sounds choppy, it is not at 440 hz, it is not a pure sine wave and it is not ten seconds.
What am I missing?
First of all, do not use sun packages. Ever.
For the desktop, the way to go is to generate the data, acquire a SourceDataLine, open and start the line and then write your data to it. It's important that the line is suitable for the AudioFormat you have chosen to generate. In this case, 8 bits/sample and a sample rate of 44,100 Hz.
Here's a working example in Java, which I am sure you can easily translate to Kotlin.
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioFormat;
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioSystem;
import javax.sound.sampled.LineUnavailableException;
import javax.sound.sampled.SourceDataLine;
public class ClipDemo {
private static byte[] createSinWaveBuffer(final float freq, final int ms, final float sampleRate) {
final int samples = (int)(ms * sampleRate / 1000);
final byte[] output = new byte[samples];
final float period = sampleRate / freq;
for (int i=0; i<samples; i++) {
final float angle = (float)(2f * Math.PI * i / period);
output[i] = (byte) (Math.sin(angle) * 127f);
}
return output;
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws LineUnavailableException {
final int rate = 44100;
final byte[] sineBuffer = createSinWaveBuffer(440, 5000, rate);
// describe the audio format you're using.
// because its byte-based, it's 8 bit/sample and signed
// if you use 2 bytes for one sample (CD quality), you need to pay more attention
// to endianess and data encoding in your byte buffer
final AudioFormat format = new AudioFormat(rate, 8, 1, true, true);
final SourceDataLine line = AudioSystem.getSourceDataLine(format);
// open the physical line, acquire system resources
line.open(format);
// start the line (... to your speaker)
line.start();
// write to the line (... to your speaker)
// this call blocks.
line.write(sineBuffer, 0, sineBuffer.length);
// cleanup, i.e. close the line again (left out in this example)
}
}

How to get file bytes in a given range?

How to get file bytes in a given range? File might be very big, so keeping all the bytes in memory is not good idea. Can I just read the file byte by byte? Is reading like that normal?
Open the file using a RandomAccessFile, seek to the beginning offset, define the buffer length and read the buffer fully. The try-with-resources statement takes care of closing the RandomAccessFile.
public static byte[] readByteRange(String sourceFilePath, long startingOffset, int length) throws IOException
{
try (RandomAccessFile randomAccessFile = new RandomAccessFile(sourceFilePath, "r"))
{
byte[] buffer = new byte[length];
randomAccessFile.seek(startingOffset);
randomAccessFile.readFully(buffer);
return buffer;
}
}
I agree with #Berger, you can use RandomAccessFile in java. You can use something like below code to read the file randomly.
RandomAccessFile f = new RandomAccessFile("FilePath","r");
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
f.read(buffer, 10, 100);
Below is the documentation of read() method from java-doc-
/**
* Reads up to <code>len</code> bytes of data from this file into an
* array of bytes. This method blocks until at least one byte of input
* is available.
* <p>
* Although <code>RandomAccessFile</code> is not a subclass of
* <code>InputStream</code>, this method behaves in exactly the
* same way as the {#link InputStream#read(byte[], int, int)} method of
* <code>InputStream</code>.
*
* #param b the buffer into which the data is read.
* #param off the start offset in array <code>b</code>
* at which the data is written.
* #param len the maximum number of bytes read.
* #return the total number of bytes read into the buffer, or
* <code>-1</code> if there is no more data because the end of
* the file has been reached.
* #exception IOException If the first byte cannot be read for any reason
* other than end of file, or if the random access file has been closed, or if
* some other I/O error occurs.
* #exception NullPointerException If <code>b</code> is <code>null</code>.
* #exception IndexOutOfBoundsException If <code>off</code> is negative,
* <code>len</code> is negative, or <code>len</code> is greater than
* <code>b.length - off</code>
*/
public int read(byte b[], int off, int len) throws IOException {
return readBytes(b, off, len);
}
Generally speaking it is rarely a good idea to load an entire file into memory unless you know that it will always be small enough to fit into your memory and you won't load several files in parallel otherwise you may face OOME.
If you want to read a file, you can indeed read byte by byte thanks to the method read() but in practice it is used in very specific use cases where you need to read few bytes as it is not an optimized way to read an entire file.
The common code in this case is:
int data;
while ((data = input.read()) != -1) {
// Do something with data
}
If you want to read your file faster you should use the method read(byte[] b), it allows to reuse an array of bytes previously created by the caller code and read a range of bytes like what you want to do.
The common code in this case is:
int length;
byte[] data = new byte[someSizeHere];
while ((length = input.read(data)) != -1) {
// Do something with the bytes in data between index 0 and length - 1
}
If you want to skip some bytes before starting to read your range of bytes, you can indeed use RandomAccessFile and its method seek(long)

Read first N bytes of a url in scala? [duplicate]

For the life of me, I haven't been able to find a question that matches what I'm trying to do, so I'll explain what my use-case is here. If you know of a topic that already covers the answer to this, please feel free to direct me to that one. :)
I have a piece of code that uploads a file to Amazon S3 periodically (every 20 seconds). The file is a log file being written by another process, so this function is effectively a means of tailing the log so that someone can read its contents in semi-real-time without having to have direct access to the machine that the log resides on.
Up until recently, I've simply been using the S3 PutObject method (using a File as input) to do this upload. But in AWS SDK 1.9, this no longer works because the S3 client rejects the request if the content size actually uploaded is greater than the content-length that was promised at the start of the upload. This method reads the size of the file before it starts streaming the data, so given the nature of this application, the file is very likely to have increased in size between that point and the end of the stream. This means that I need to now ensure I only send N bytes of data regardless of how big the file is.
I don't have any need to interpret the bytes in the file in any way, so I'm not concerned about encoding. I can transfer it byte-for-byte. Basically, what I want is a simple method where I can read the file up to the Nth byte, then have it terminate the read even if there's more data in the file past that point. (In other words, insert EOF into the stream at a specific point.)
For example, if my file is 10000 bytes long when I start the upload, but grows to 12000 bytes during the upload, I want to stop uploading at 10000 bytes regardless of that size change. (On a subsequent upload, I would then upload the 12000 bytes or more.)
I haven't found a pre-made way to do this - the best I've found so far appears to be IOUtils.copyLarge(InputStream, OutputStream, offset, length), which can be told to copy a maximum of "length" bytes to the provided OutputStream. However, copyLarge is a blocking method, as is PutObject (which presumably calls a form of read() on its InputStream), so it seems that I couldn't get that to work at all.
I haven't found any methods or pre-built streams that can do this, so it's making me think I'd need to write my own implementation that directly monitors how many bytes have been read. That would probably then work like a BufferedInputStream where the number of bytes read per batch is the lesser of the buffer size or the remaining bytes to be read. (eg. with a buffer size of 3000 bytes, I'd do three batches at 3000 bytes each, followed by a batch with 1000 bytes + EOF.)
Does anyone know a better way to do this? Thanks.
EDIT Just to clarify, I'm already aware of a couple alternatives, neither of which are ideal:
(1) I could lock the file while uploading it. Doing this would cause loss of data or operational problems in the process that's writing the file.
(2) I could create a local copy of the file before uploading it. This could be very inefficient and take up a lot of unnecessary disk space (this file can grow into the several-gigabyte range, and the machine it's running on may be that short of disk space).
EDIT 2: My final solution, based on a suggestion from a coworker, looks like this:
private void uploadLogFile(final File logFile) {
if (logFile.exists()) {
long byteLength = logFile.length();
try (
FileInputStream fileStream = new FileInputStream(logFile);
InputStream limitStream = ByteStreams.limit(fileStream, byteLength);
) {
ObjectMetadata md = new ObjectMetadata();
md.setContentLength(byteLength);
// Set other metadata as appropriate.
PutObjectRequest req = new PutObjectRequest(bucket, key, limitStream, md);
s3Client.putObject(req);
} // plus exception handling
}
}
LimitInputStream was what my coworker suggested, apparently not aware that it had been deprecated. ByteStreams.limit is the current Guava replacement, and it does what I want. Thanks, everyone.
Complete answer rip & replace:
It is relatively straightforward to wrap an InputStream such as to cap the number of bytes it will deliver before signaling end-of-data. FilterInputStream is targeted at this general kind of job, but since you have to override pretty much every method for this particular job, it just gets in the way.
Here's a rough cut at a solution:
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
/**
* An {#code InputStream} wrapper that provides up to a maximum number of
* bytes from the underlying stream. Does not support mark/reset, even
* when the wrapped stream does, and does not perform any buffering.
*/
public class BoundedInputStream extends InputStream {
/** This stream's underlying #{code InputStream} */
private final InputStream data;
/** The maximum number of bytes still available from this stream */
private long bytesRemaining;
/**
* Initializes a new {#code BoundedInputStream} with the specified
* underlying stream and byte limit
* #param data the #{code InputStream} serving as the source of this
* one's data
* #param maxBytes the maximum number of bytes this stream will deliver
* before signaling end-of-data
*/
public BoundedInputStream(InputStream data, long maxBytes) {
this.data = data;
bytesRemaining = Math.max(maxBytes, 0);
}
#Override
public int available() throws IOException {
return (int) Math.min(data.available(), bytesRemaining);
}
#Override
public void close() throws IOException {
data.close();
}
#Override
public synchronized void mark(int limit) {
// does nothing
}
#Override
public boolean markSupported() {
return false;
}
#Override
public int read(byte[] buf, int off, int len) throws IOException {
if (bytesRemaining > 0) {
int nRead = data.read(
buf, off, (int) Math.min(len, bytesRemaining));
bytesRemaining -= nRead;
return nRead;
} else {
return -1;
}
}
#Override
public int read(byte[] buf) throws IOException {
return this.read(buf, 0, buf.length);
}
#Override
public synchronized void reset() throws IOException {
throw new IOException("reset() not supported");
}
#Override
public long skip(long n) throws IOException {
long skipped = data.skip(Math.min(n, bytesRemaining));
bytesRemaining -= skipped;
return skipped;
}
#Override
public int read() throws IOException {
if (bytesRemaining > 0) {
int c = data.read();
if (c >= 0) {
bytesRemaining -= 1;
}
return c;

Wav comparison, same file

I'm currently stumped. I've been looking around and experimenting with audio comparison. I've found quite a bit of material, and a ton of references to different libraries and methods to do it.
As of now I've taken Audacity and exported a 3min wav file called "long.wav" and then split the first 30seconds of that into a file called "short.wav". I figured somewhere along the line I could visually log (log.txt) the data through java for each and should be able to see at least some visual similarities among the values.... here's some code
Main method:
int totalFramesRead = 0;
File fileIn = new File(filePath);
BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(outPath));
writer.flush();
writer.write("");
try {
AudioInputStream audioInputStream =
AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(fileIn);
int bytesPerFrame =
audioInputStream.getFormat().getFrameSize();
if (bytesPerFrame == AudioSystem.NOT_SPECIFIED) {
// some audio formats may have unspecified frame size
// in that case we may read any amount of bytes
bytesPerFrame = 1;
}
// Set an arbitrary buffer size of 1024 frames.
int numBytes = 1024 * bytesPerFrame;
byte[] audioBytes = new byte[numBytes];
try {
int numBytesRead = 0;
int numFramesRead = 0;
// Try to read numBytes bytes from the file.
while ((numBytesRead =
audioInputStream.read(audioBytes)) != -1) {
// Calculate the number of frames actually read.
numFramesRead = numBytesRead / bytesPerFrame;
totalFramesRead += numFramesRead;
// Here, do something useful with the audio data that's
// now in the audioBytes array...
if(totalFramesRead <= 4096 * 100)
{
Complex[][] results = PerformFFT(audioBytes);
int[][] lines = GetKeyPoints(results);
DumpToFile(lines, writer);
}
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
// Handle the error...
}
audioInputStream.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
// Handle the error...
}
writer.close();
Then PerformFFT:
public static Complex[][] PerformFFT(byte[] data) throws IOException
{
final int totalSize = data.length;
int amountPossible = totalSize/Harvester.CHUNK_SIZE;
//When turning into frequency domain we'll need complex numbers:
Complex[][] results = new Complex[amountPossible][];
//For all the chunks:
for(int times = 0;times < amountPossible; times++) {
Complex[] complex = new Complex[Harvester.CHUNK_SIZE];
for(int i = 0;i < Harvester.CHUNK_SIZE;i++) {
//Put the time domain data into a complex number with imaginary part as 0:
complex[i] = new Complex(data[(times*Harvester.CHUNK_SIZE)+i], 0);
}
//Perform FFT analysis on the chunk:
results[times] = FFT.fft(complex);
}
return results;
}
At this point I've tried logging everywhere: audioBytes before transforms, Complex values, and FFT results.
The problem: No matter what values I log, the log.txt of each wav file is completely different. I'm not understanding it. Given that I took the small.wav from the large.wav (and they have all the same properties) there should be a very heavy similarity among either the raw wav byte[] data... or Complex[][] fft data... or something thus far..
How can I possibly try to compare these files if the data isn't even close to similar at any point of these calculations.
I know I'm missing quite a bit of knowledge with regards to audio analysis, and this is why I come to the board for help! Thanks for any info, help, or fixes you can offer!!
Have you looked at MARF? It is a well-documented Java library used for audio recognition.
It is used to recognize speakers (for transcription or securing software) but the same features should be able to be used to classify audio samples. I'm not familiar with it but it looks like you'd want to use the FeatureExtraction class to extract an array of features from each audio sample and then create a unique id.
For 16-bit audio, 3e-05 isn't really that different from zero. So a file of zeros is pretty much the same as a file of zeros (maybe missing equality by some tiny rounding errors.)
ADDED:
For your comparison, read in and plot, using some Java plotting library, a portion of each of the two waveforms when they get past the portion that's mostly (close to) zero.
I think for debugging you better try use matlab to plot out. Since matlab is much more powerful in dealing with this problem.
You use "wavread" to the file, and "stft" to get the short time Fourier Transformation which is a complex number Matrix. Then simply abs(Matrix) to get the magnitude of each complex number. Show the image with imshow(abs(Matrix),[]).
I don't know how do you compare the whole file and 30s clip (by looking at the stft image?)
I don't know how are you comparing both audio files, but, seeing some service that offer music recognition (like TrackId or MotoID), these services take a small sample of the music you're hearing (10-20 secs), then process them in their server, i theorize that they have samples that long or less and that they have a database of (or calculate it on the fly) patterns of that samples (in your case Fourier Transforms), in your case, you may need to break your long audio file in chunks of or smaller size than your sample data, in the first case you may find a specific chunk that resembles more the pattern in your sample data, in the second case your smaller chunks may resamble a part of your sample data and you can calculate the probability that the sample data belongs to a respective audio file.
I think you are looking at Acoustic Fingerprinting
It's hard, and there are libraries to do it.
If you want to implement it yourself, this is a whitepaper on the shazam algorithm.

required int but there is a problem and found zero bytes

How to solve this?
File f=new File("d:/tester.txt");
long size=f.length(); // returns the size in bytes
char buff[]=new char[size]; // line of ERROR
// will not accept long in it's argument
// I can't do the casting (loss of data)
Is it possible to use size as the length of buff without the loss of data?
If yes how can i use it?
My second question is :
Why i am not getting the actual number of bytes?
This is the program :
import java.io.*;
class tester {
public static void main(String args[]) {
File f=new File("c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts.File");
long x=f.length(); // returns the number of bytes read from the file
System.out.println("long-> " + x );
}
}
The output is long-> 0 ,but obviously it is not so.Why do i get this result?
You need to cast the long to an int
char buff[]=new char[(int) size];
This will only work for files less than 2 GB in size.
However, if you intend to use this to read the file perhaps you meant
byte[] buff=new byte[(int) size];
I would look at FileUtils and IOUtils from Apache Commons IO which has lots of help methods.
I doubt you have a file with that name. perhaps you need to drop the .File at the end which sounds like an odd extension.
I would check f.exists() first.
