how can i load multiple/all audio files(.wav) in matlab ? all files have different names.

i have a folder containing a number of audio files. i want to load them in a loop so that each audio signals can undergo some operations that i intend to perform.

Answer 1

[KSSV]

audioFiles = dir('*.wav') ;
N = length(audioFiles) ; 
for i = 1:N
    file - audioFiles(i).name ;
    % do what you want 
end

Is the fourth row code:

file = audioFiles(i).name;

What do [file - audioFiles(i).name] mean?

@Hongmiao Yann: in the fourth line you should replace the minus with equals:

file = audioFiles(i).name;

It allocates one filename to the variable FILE.

I recommend using audioDatastore for such tasks:

% specify your folder
folder = fullfile(matlabroot,'toolbox','audio','samples');
% Create an audio datastore that points to the specified folder.
ADS = audioDatastore(folder, IncludeSubfolders=true)
% While the audio datastore has unread files, read consecutive files 
% from the datastore. Use progress to monitor the fraction of files read.
while hasdata(ADS)
    data = read(ADS);
    fprintf('Fraction of files read: %.2f\n',progress(ADS))
end
