How to Parse Audio Files in Objective-C: A Customizable Audio File Parser Class
This is an Objective-C class implementation for a audio file parser. The class is designed to read and parse the audio data from an audio file, extracting chunks of audio data based on a given time duration. Here’s a breakdown of the code: Initialization: The getNextDataChunk method initializes the audio file object by reading the necessary metadata from the file using AudioFileGetProperty. This includes the sample rate, total packets, and maximum packet size.
