I am very thankful to ur reply but i actually i wan to compare one sound file to another in a some programming language. so if u have any idea please help me.
Another thing i wanted to ask is whether the code given by the binary converter is the actual way in which the sound file is stored in our system with the addresses same as given in the file in the converter?
