[PD] Sample loop - start and end point (WAV files)

Hi everybody,

I know it had been a problem in the past to read out the loop information of wav samples. I have not followed any further development since years.

Is there anything (like an external) that can read the loop points of .wav samples by now?

If not has anybody been successful reading the header information with something like [mrpeach/binfile]?

I know that loop points can be stored somwhere or somehow in the header. Unfortunately I cannot see from the Microsoft WAVE soundfile format where the loop points would be or find any information on it.

Any ideas? Am I looking at the wrong file header type?

Up until now I had been creating loops by copying the loop start and end point manually from the readings of SoundForge. However, I'm going to need a method soon that can read the loop points directly from the samples.

Thanks! Ingo
