Java - removing headers from .wav

Question

I am reading a WAV file into a byte array with the following code.

AudioInputStream inputStream = 
    AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(/*my .wav file */);
int numBytes = inputStream.available();
byte[] buffer = new byte[numBytes];
inputStream.read(buffer, 0, numBytes);
inputStream.close();

Is there an easy way to remove .wav headers before or after reading into a byte array?

Answer 1

Here is a good link to the wave file format .

Answer 2

The AudioInputStream read () method data is already raw wav data. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the .wav header. If you want to access the header materials, you must use the AudioFormat object associated with this AudioInputStream.

BTW, .wav , , . while, .

Answer 3

If the correct .wav header is 44 bytes long, so skip / delete the first 44 and there you have it.

I don’t know for sure.

Answer 4

Is the wav file header fixed? If so inputStream.skip?
