SuperCollider Embedder/Extractor

A silly project for embedding a file into another file and then extracting it. What if you could hide the SuperCollider source code of your music as an easter egg inside the music it has created?

Compile

# clone this repo
$ git clone https://github.com/vsandstrom/SuperCollider-Embedder-Extractor.git

# move into repo and run 'make', executables will end up in the 'build' directory
$ cd SuperCollider-Embedder-Extractor/ && make && cd build

Usage

To use the embedder:

$ ./scd_embed -a <audio-file> -s <supercollider-file> [ -o <output filename> ] [ -h <prints usage help> ]

Output filename is optional, if left blank 'scd_embed' will output the same filename as input, but with
'_embedded.wav' added to it.

To make sure that the text has been embedded, use:

$ xxd -c 40 -l 5000 <path/to/file.wav>

or use the free software hex fiend.

To use the extractor:

$ ./scd_extract -e <target audio-file> [ -o <output filename> ] [ -h <prints usage help> ]

Output filename is optional, if left blank 'scd_embed' will output the same filename as input, but with
'_parsed.scd' added to it.

This could also be used to parse any BEXT-chunk, if you are curious what it usually contains.
