public class AudioFileFormat extends Object
An instance of theAudioFileFormat
class describes an audio file, including the file type, the file's length in bytes, the length in sample frames of the audio data contained in the file, and the format of the audio data.The
class includes methods for determining the format of an audio file, obtaining an audio input stream from an audio file, and writing an audio file from an audio input stream.AudioSystem
An
AudioFileFormat
object can include a set of properties. A property is a pair of key and value: the key is of typeString
, the associated property value is an arbitrary object. Properties specify additional informational meta data (like a author, copyright, or file duration). Properties are optional information, and file reader and file writer implementations are not required to provide or recognize properties.The following table lists some common properties that should be used in implementations:
Audio File Format Properties Property key Value type Description "duration" Long
playback duration of the file in microseconds "author" String
name of the author of this file "title" String
title of this file "copyright" String
copyright message "date" Date
date of the recording or release "comment" String
an arbitrary text - Since:
