Install

npm install wavefile

Use

ES6

import WaveFile from wavefile.js:

import WaveFile from 'wavefile.js';
let wav = new WaveFile();

Node

Require WaveFile from wavefile:

const WaveFile = require('wavefile');
let wav = new WaveFile();

This also works:

const WaveFile = require('wavefile').default;
let wav = new WaveFile();

Browser

Use the compiled file in the /dist folder:

<script src="wavefile.min.js"></script>
<script>
  var WaveFile = new WaveFile();
</script>

Or get it from the jsDelivr CDN:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/wavefile"></script>

Or get it from unpkg:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/wavefile"></script>

Or as a module from jspm:

<script type="module">
  import WaveFile from 'https://dev.jspm.io/wavefile';
  console.log(new WaveFile());
</script>

Browser Compatibility

wavefile supports all browsers that are ES5-compliant (IE8 and below are not supported).

See it in action

With wavefile you can change the bit depth and compression type of wav files on the fly before loading them in a browser player. This example uses wavefile and wavesurfer to create a browser player that supports mu-Law, A-Law, IMA ADPCM and all other formats supported by wavefile:

https://rochars.github.io/wavefile/example

// Load a wav file that is encoded as 4-bit IMA ADPCM:
var wav = new WaveFile(ADPCMFileBuffer);

// Decode the file as 16-bit PCM, supported by most browsers:
wav.fromIMAADPCM();

// Get the DataURI of your new, browser-friendly wav file:
var wavDataURI = wav.toDataURI();

// Load your new wav file into your player
// ...

Check out wavesurfer:
https://github.com/katspaugh/wavesurfer.js

Example

const WaveFile = require('wavefile');

// Load a wav file from disk into a WaveFile object
let wav = new WaveFile(buffer);

// Check some of the file properties
console.log(wav.container);
console.log(wav.chunkSize);
console.log(wav.fmt.chunkId);

// Call toBuffer() to get the bytes of the file.
// You can write the output straight to disk:
let wavBuffer = wav.toBuffer();

// Call toDataURI() to get the file as a DataURI:
let wavDataURI = wav.toDataURI();

Operation Manual

Create wave files from scratch

You must inform the number of channels, the sample rate, the bit depth and the samples (in this order).

Mono:

let wav = new WaveFile();

// Create a mono wave file, 44.1 kHz, 32-bit and 4 samples
wav.fromScratch(1, 44100, '32', [0, -2147483648, 2147483647, 4]);
fs.writeFileSync(path, wav.toBuffer());

Stereo:

Samples can be informed interleaved or de-interleaved. If they are de-interleaved, WaveFile will interleave them. In this example they are de-interleaved.

// Stereo, 48 kHz, 8-bit, de-interleaved samples
// WaveFile interleave the samples automatically
wav.fromScratch(2, 48000, '8', [
    [0, -2, 4, 3],
    [0, -1, 4, 3]
]);
fs.writeFileSync(path, wav.toBuffer());

Possible values for the bit depth are:
"4" - 4-bit IMA-ADPCM
"8" - 8-bit
"8a" - 8-bit A-Law
"8m" - 8-bit mu-Law
"16" - 16-bit
"24" - 24-bit
"32" - 32-bit
"32f" - 32-bit floating point
"64" - 64-bit floating point

You can also use any bit depth between "8" and "53", like "11", "12", "17", "20" and so on.

A word on bit depth

Resolutions other than 4-bit, 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit, 32-bit (integer), 32-bit (fp) and 64-bit (fp) are implemented as WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE and may not be supported by some players.

Add RIFF tags to files

You can create (or overwrite) tags on files with the WaveFile.setTag() method.

// Write the ICMT tag with some comments to the file
wav.setTag("ICMT", "some comments");

To get the value of a tag (if it exists), use WaveFile.getTag():

console.log(wav.getTag("ICMT"));
// some comments

You can delete a tag with WaveFile.deleteTag():

wav.deleteTag("ICMT");

Add cue points to files

You can create cue points using the WaveFile.setCuePoint() method. The method takes time in milliseconds, a text label and creates a cue point in the corresponding position of the file:

wav.setCuePoint(1750, "some label for the cue point");

To delete a cue point use WaveFile.deleteCuePoint() informing the index of the point. Points are ordered according to their position. The first point is indexed as 1.

wav.deleteCuePoint(1);

Mind that creating or deleting cue points will change the index of other points if they exist.

RIFX

wavefile can handle existing RIFX files and create RIFX files from scratch. Files created from scratch will default to RIFF; to create a file as RIFX you must define the container:

wav.fromScratch(1, 48000, '16', [0, 1, -32768, 32767], {"container": "RIFX"});

RIFX to RIFF and RIFF to RIFX:

// Turn a RIFF file to a RIFX file
wav.toRIFX();

// Turn a RIFX file to a RIFF file
wav.toRIFF();

IMA-ADPCM

16-bit 8000 Hz mono wave files can be compressed as IMA-ADPCM:

// Encode a 16-bit wave file as 4-bit IMA-ADPCM:
wav.toIMAADPCM();

IMA-ADPCM files compressed with wavefile will have a block align of 256 bytes.

If the audio is not 16-bit it will be converted to 16-bit before compressing. Compressing audio with sample rate different from 8000 Hz or more than one channel is not supported and will throw errors.

To decode 4-bit IMA-ADPCM as 16-bit linear PCM:

// Decode 4-bit IMA-ADPCM as 16-bit:
wav.fromIMAADPCM();

Decoding always result in 16-bit audio. To decode to another bit depth:

// Decode 4-bit IMA-ADPCM as 24-bit:
wav.fromIMAADPCM("24");

A-Law

16-bit wave files (mono or stereo) can be encoded as A-Law:

// Encode a 16-bit wave file as 8-bit A-law:
wav.toALaw();

If the audio is not 16-bit it will be converted to 16-bit before compressing.

To decode 8-bit A-Law as 16-bit linear PCM:

// Decode 8-bit A-Law as 16-bit:
wav.fromALaw();

Decoding always result in 16-bit audio. To decode to another bit depth:

// Decode 8-bit A-Law as 24-bit:
wav.fromALaw("24");

mu-Law

16-bit wave files (mono or stereo) can be encoded as mu-Law:

// Encode a 16-bit wave file as 8-bit mu-law:
wav.toMuLaw();

If the audio is not 16-bit it will be converted to 16-bit before compressing.

To decode 8-bit mu-Law as 16-bit linear PCM:

// Decode 8-bit mu-Law as 16-bit:
wav.fromMuLaw();

Decoding always result in 16-bit audio. To decode to another bit depth:

// Decode 8-bit mu-Law as 24-bit:
wav.fromMuLaw("24");

Change the bit depth

You can change the bit depth of the audio with the toBitDepth(bitDepth) method.

// Load a wav file with 32-bit audio
let wav = new WaveFile(fs.readFileSync("32bit-file.wav"));

// Change the bit depth to 24-bit
wav.toBitDepth("24");

// Write the new 24-bit file
fs.writeFileSync("24bit-file.wav", wav.toBuffer());

Add BWF metadata

To add BWF data to a file you can use the bext property:

// Load a wav file with no "bext"
let wav = new WaveFile(fs.readFileSync("32bit-file.wav"));

// Add some BWF metadata
wav.bext.originator = "wavefile";

// Write the new BWF file
fs.writeFileSync("32bit-file-with-bext.wav", wav.toBuffer());

By default wavefile will not insert a "bext" chunk in new files or in files that do not already have a "bext" chunk unless a property of WaveFile.bext is changed from it's default value. See below the full list of properties in WaveFile.bext.

RF64

wavefile have limited support of RF64 files. It possible to read (at least some) RF64 files, but changing the bit depth or applying compression to the samples will result in a RIFF file.

Cue points

Items in cue.points are objects that look like this:

{
    "dwName": 0, // a cue point ID
    "dwPosition": 0,
    "fccChunk": 0,
    "dwChunkStart": 0,
    "dwBlockStart": 0,
    "dwSampleOffset": 0,
}

Sample loops

Items in smpl.loops are objects that look like this:

{
    "dwName": "", // a cue point ID
    "dwType": 0,
    "dwStart": 0,
    "dwEnd": 0,
    "dwFraction": 0,
    "dwPlayCount": 0,
}

LIST chunk

"LIST" chunk data is stored as follows:

/**
 * An array of the "LIST" chunks present in the file.
 * @type {!Array<!Object>}
 */
WaveFile.LIST = [];

WaveFile.LIST is an array of objects with this signature:

{
    /** @type {string} */
    "chunkId": "", // always 'LIST'
    /** @type {number} */
    "chunkSize": 0,
    /** @type {string} */
    "format": "", // 'adtl' or 'INFO'
    /** @type {!Array<!Object>} */
    "subChunks": []
};

Where "subChunks" are the subChunks of the "LIST" chunk. A single file may have many "LIST" chunks as long as their formats ("INFO", "adtl", etc) are not the same. wavefile can read and write "LIST" chunks of format "INFO" and "adtl".

For "LIST" chunks with the "INFO" format, "subChunks" will be an array of objects with this signature:

{
    /** @type {string} */
    "chunkId": "" // some RIFF tag
    /** @type {number} */
    "chunkSize" 0,
    /** @type {string} */
    "value": ""
}

Where "chunkId" may be any RIFF tag:
https://sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/RIFF.html#Info

The samples

Range:

0 to 255 for 8-bit
-32768 to 32767 for 16-bit
-8388608 to 8388607 for 24-bit
-2147483648 to 2147483647 for 32-bit
-1.0 to 1.0 for 32-bit (float)
-1.0 to 1.0 for 64-bit (float)

Distribution

This library is a ES6 module also distributed as a CommonJS module, UMD module and a compiled script for browsers. It works out of the box in Node when installed with npm install wavefile.

If you are using this lib in a browser:

You may load both wavefile.umd.js and wavefile.min.js in the browser with <script> tags. Ideally you should use wavefile.min.js. You can load it via the https://unpkg.com and https://www.jsdelivr.com/ CDNs:

unpkg:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/wavefile"></script>

jsDelivr:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/wavefile"></script>

If you are using this lib as a dependency:

The CommonJS is the dist file used by Node. It is served in the "main" field of package.json. It includes all the sources but no dependencies. Dependencies will be imported from the node_modules folder. This is the source you are running when you npm install wavefile.
The UMD module is compatible with Node, AMD and browsers. It is served in the "browser" field of package.json. It includes all dependencies. This file is not compiled/minified as it may be used by module bundlers. Compilation/minification should be up to the bundler consuming this file.
The compiled dist is browser-only and should be the one served by CDNs. It includes all the dependencies. It is used in the "unpkg" and "jsdelivr" fields of package.json.
The ES6 dist is wavefile.js, served as "es2015" in package.json. It includes all the dependencies. It is not compiled/minified.
./index.js is served as "module" in package.json. It should be used by systems that support ES modules and are aware of Node's module path resolution (a module bundler, for instance). This should be the entry point for bundlers in most cases - this will avoid code duplication in the case of shared dependencies (as opposed to using "browser" as the entry point).

If your module bundler is using "browser" as the entry point your dist should work the same but will be a larger file.
