Reading *.wav files in Python
I need to analyze sound written in a .wav file. For that I need to transform this file into set of numbers (arrays, for example). I think I need to use the wave package. However, I do not know how exactly it works. For example I did the following: import wave w = wave.open('/usr/share/sounds/ekiga/voicemail.wav', 'r') for i in range(w.getnframes()): frame = w.readframes(i) print frame As a result of this code I expected to see sound pressure as function of time. In contrast I see a lot of strange, mysterious symbols (which are not hexadecimal numbers). Can anybody, pleas, help me with that?
