WAV Viewer

WAV Viewer is a plain and simple-to-use software utility that enables you to analyze the technical structure of audio tracks with the .wav format. It can come in handy to those working with sound processing tools.

Setting it up takes little time and no special input, thanks to the fact that the installer contains only familiar options.

As far as the interface goes, WAV Viewer adopts a common-looking window with a minimalistic appearance, where you can use a file browser to locate and open a Wave track.

The app performs track analysis instantly and shows various details, such as the number of channels, format tag, samples per second, average bytes per second, block alignment, bits per sample, and size. Plus, you can directly examine the file via hexadecimal display.

The software application gives you the possibility to edit the hex code, copy information to the Clipboard, or export the entire .wav structure to a text document with a preferred encoding mode between ANSI, ASCII, Unicode, Big Endian Unicode, UTF-8 and UTF-7.

Lastly, it contains a function for validating WAV media and lets you configure a wide range of validation settings, such as starting or loading file information, stopping the timeout, or total file silence duration. The resulted report can be saved to file for closer inspection and safekeeping.

The program worked smoothly in our tests, without triggering the OS to hang, crash or prompt error messages. As we expected, it had minimal impact on computer performance, running on low CPU and RAM.

To sum it up, WAV Viewer comes loaded with some advanced options to help you get a closer look at Wave audio tracks. However, the price of the full package seems too much.
