    Question Playing wav

    One day I recorded a song,and saved as wav format. Then I want to compare it to the original song,findingThe similarities and differences.

    But I don't know what is the really important data in the wav format.

    In the wav formant,Data Chunk - is what??????? I mean those self-defined data.

    [channels,Sample rate,Average bytes per second,Block align......???? WaveX APIS???]

    Please help me~~

    Huh? I suggest getting a sound API. Good ones are OpenAL and FMOD.

    frequency (pitch) and amplitude (volume) as functions of time perhaps?

    Yeap, except if it's recorded (as opposed to computer generated), chances are many things will be happening at the same time (many notes). Even if there is only 1 note, it will have a few harmonics. So yes, it's just amplitude and frequency, except you have a function that is a sum of many waves. It won't be easy to separate them out.
