Reading a sound file

ZeroZ30o

If I have an mp3/wav/ogg... file, how would I go and read it?
Being able to read any part of the file would be enough, I'd know how to buffer and play it after that.

Check out the examples in 04-Audio. They will work fine for wav, possibly ogg, surely not mp3

Oh right, I forget mp3 is proprietary. Thanks -just one last thing: where do I put the files in Bela?
It seems I only have access to "BELABOOT"

You can decode these on a Linux system using various open source libraries. If you find yourself wanting to decode mp3, you can probably plug this sort of thing into one of the examples.
One such library is libmpg123

An example of how to use libmgp123

Another using libmad

liblame apparently can be used to decode mp3 but I haven't found easy-to-digest examples of using it this way.

You can put your wav files in the project that you would use for streaming.

If the wav files are small enough you can just drag them onto the IDE window in the browser. However, it is probably better to copy them to the project folder from the terminal using scp:
scp [filename] root@192.168.7.2:[project_path]
