WAVE file format is derived from RIFF format. raw data is stored in 'chunks'.
every chunk is made up of three parts:
- a header signature
- data length
- data, long as specified by data length
you can add whatever you want, just keep the signature "unique". more info on standard wave fie here: http://technology.niagarac.on.ca/courses/ctec1631/WavFileFormat.html

Dear List,
I am trying to create an algorithmic composition whereby pd could coalesce related wav files by reading key-byte information I would insert into the header. Does anyone have a good refernce on the anatomy of a wav file, especially the header? also can someone advise me how pd can be directed to read, let's say the 63 rd and 64th byte of a file?
thank you
