Summarize information about file format in an acoustic data set

summarize_acoustic_data summarizes information about file format in an acoustic data set

Usage

summarize_acoustic_data(path = ".", digits = 2)

Arguments

path

Character string containing the directory path where the sound files are located. Default is "." (current working directory).

digits

Numeric vector of length 1 with the number of decimals to include. Default is 2.

Value

The function prints a summary of the format of the files in an acoustic data set.

Details

The function summarizes information about file format in an acoustic data set. It provides information about the number of files, file formats, sampling rates, bit depts, channels, duration and file size (in MB). For file format, sampling rate, bit depth and number of channels the function includes information about the number of files for each format (e.g. '44.1 kHz (2)' means 2 files with a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz).
