Editing File Headers
Hey Guys,
Absolute neewbie here. I am trying to see if it is possible to edit headers/meta-data of files in Mac OSX. I am basically trying to change an audio file header to read 16bit instead of 24bit.
We have an issue with some of our software and it regularly exports 16bit audio files with 24bit headers (so any other software will read the file as 24bit when in fact it is 16bit).
I am trying to see if it is possible to edit the meta-data/header to read 16bit without making another generation of the file. If I want another generation I can use afconvert in terminal. I would like to edit the data of the file without recreating it.
I hope you guys can help.
With Kind Regards
Andy
