🎵 Audio File Header Reader

A simple C++ program I built during my 2nd year of college (2023–2024) to practice binary file handling.
It detects and displays basic header information for WAVE (WAV) and OGG audio files.

🚀 Features

• Reads binary headers of audio files.
• Supports:
  • WAVE (.wav) format:
    • Chunk ID
    • Format
    • Number of Channels
    • Sample Rate
    • Bits per Sample
    • and more…
  • OGG (.ogg) format:
    • Capture Pattern
    • Version
    • Granule Position
    • Bitstream Serial Number
    • Page Sequence Number
    • Checksum
• Displays parsed header information in a clean format.

📂 Example Usage

Enter your file: test.wav

🛠️ How to Compile & Run

g++ main.cpp -o AudioFileReader
./AudioFileReader

📖 Notes

• This project was created in my 2nd year of college (2023–2024) as part of my learning journey in C++ and binary file I/O.

• It’s a simple program for learning purposes, not a complete audio parser.
