MATLAB: I am trying to read the .wav file through “wavread” giving path of wave using following code but it always give error 67(i-e ??? Error using ==> wavread at 67 Cannot open file)

error67MATLAB CompilerMATLAB Parallel ServerMATLAB Production ServerMATLAB Report Generatorwavread

[FileName,PathName] = uigetfile('AUD-20150716-WA0032.wav');
PathOriginal=sprintf('%s%s',C:\Users\Downloads,AUD-20150716-WA0032);
[xt,fs]=wavread('C:\Users\Downloads');

please help anyone ???

Best Answer

[FileName,PathName] = uigetfile('AUD-20150716-WA0032.wav');
PathOriginal = fullfile(PathName, FileName);
[xt,fs] = wavread(PathOriginal);

Or, along the lines that B.k Sumedha suggests:

PathOriginal = fullfile('C:\Users\Downloads', 'AUD-20150716-WA0032.wav');
[xt, fs] = wavread(PathOriginal);

The difference between these two is that the second one has a fixed file name, whereas the first one allows the users to navigate to other locations to pick a file.

MATLAB: Randomly picking some files

You can get a directory and then use randperm to get a list of random, non-repeated indexes, or randi to get a list of possibly repeated indexes, or you can use this program I wrote that will play either a random wave file or one that you specify:

% Play a wav file.  You can pass in 'random' and it will pick one at random from the folder to play.
% PlaySoundFile(handles.soundFolder, 'chime.wav');
% PlaySoundFile(handles.soundFolder, 'random');
function PlaySoundFile(soundFolder, baseWavFileName)
  try        % Read the sound file into MATLAB, and play the audio.
%     soundFolder = fullfile(soundFolder, 'Sound Files');
    if ~exist(soundFolder, 'dir')
        warningMessage = sprintf('Warning: sound folder not found:\n%s', soundFolder);
        WarnUser(warningMessage);
        return;
    end
    if strcmpi(baseWavFileName, 'random')
      itWorked = false;
      tryCount = 1;
      while itWorked == false
        % Pick a file at random.
        filePattern = fullfile(soundFolder, '*.wav');
        waveFiles = dir(filePattern);
        numberOfFiles = length(waveFiles);
        % Get a random number
        fileToPlay = randi(numberOfFiles, 1);
        baseWavFileName = waveFiles(fileToPlay).name;
        fullWavFileName = fullfile(soundFolder, baseWavFileName);
        waveFileData = -1;
        try
          if exist(fullWavFileName, 'file')
            [waveFileData, Fs, nbits, readinfo] = wavread(fullWavFileName);
            sound(waveFileData, Fs);
            %     soundsc(y,Fs,bits,range);


          else
            warningMessage = sprintf('Warning: sound file not found:\n%s', fullWavFileName);
            WarnUser(warningMessage);
          end
          % It worked.  It played because the audio format was OK.
          itWorked = true;
        catch
          % Increment the try count and try again to find a file that plays.
          tryCount = tryCount + 1;
          if tryCount >= numberOfFiles
            break;
          end
        end
      end % of while()
    else
  %     baseWavFileName = 'Chime.wav';
      fullWavFileName = fullfile(soundFolder, baseWavFileName);
      waveFileData = -1;
      if exist(fullWavFileName, 'file')
        [waveFileData, Fs, nbits, readinfo] = wavread(fullWavFileName);
        sound(waveFileData, Fs);
        %     soundsc(y,Fs,bits,range);
      else
        warningMessage = sprintf('Warning: sound file not found:\n%s', fullWavFileName);
        WarnUser(warningMessage);
      end
    end
  catch ME
    if strfind(ME.message, '#85')
      % Unrecognized format.  Play chime instead.      
      fprintf('Error in PlaySoundFile(): %s.\nUnrecognized sound format in file:\n\n%s\n', ME.message, fullWavFileName);
       baseWavFileName = 'Chime.wav';
      fullWavFileName = fullfile(soundFolder, baseWavFileName);
      waveFileData = -1;
      if exist(fullWavFileName, 'file')
        [waveFileData, Fs, nbits, readinfo] = wavread(fullWavFileName);
        sound(waveFileData, Fs);
        %     soundsc(y,Fs,bits,range);
      end
    end
    errorMessage = sprintf('Error in PlaySoundFile().\nThe error reported by MATLAB is:\n\n%s', ME.message);
    fprintf('%s\n', errorMessage);
    WarnUser(errorMessage);
  end
  return; % from PlaySoundFile

By the way, WarnUser is simply

function WarnUser(message)
uiwait(warndlg(message));

MATLAB: Audio file (.wav) being overwritten

You have

speech = ('coch4.wav');
speech2 = speech;

So your speech2 filename is the same as your speech filename.

[y,Fs]=audioread(speech2); %don't use wavread or audioread

So you read from coch4.wav via speech2 filename

audiowrite(speech, speech_trimmed, 44100);

and then you write to the file name given by speech, which is the same as the filename given by speech2, so you are writing to the same file that you read the data from.
