If you open up an mp3 or a wav file in a hex editor you get a whole load of well… hex. So, if you print out all these values (which as an ass load, but step into hypothetical land with me for a second) and take the papers to someone and have them type them in, will they be able to listen to the song? It wouldn’t make sense if they could, atleast not to me, can someone explain? thanks.
If they type them in exactly in a hex editor and save it as an .mp3, they will be able to listen to the song. That hex that you’re seeing is what’s stored on disk. You hear the song by interpreting that data a certain way with a program.
