             file ...

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so sndfile-info is literally the vibes-checker for your audio files 🦋 It tells you the basic information about sound files — like the format, how many channels it has, the samplerate, and how long it is. no cap, that's the whole main-character job 💅

and here are the options it recognizes, bestie 👑

  • --broadcast — shows the broadcast (BWF) info 🎀
  • --cart — shows the cart chunk of a WAV (or a file that's related to one) 🛒
  • --channel-map — shows the channel map 🗺️
  • --instrument — shows instrument info, which is a base note, gain, velocity, key, and loop points 🎹🔥
bestie note: you can pass more than one file ... — the ... is not me being dramatic, it's the actual syntax 🫶
