Binary Data Audio File

Hi,
I have a very simple (and probably dumb) question.
I’m making an Audio app with a cMake file. I already have a separate part in the program/function to process audio files.

void AudioPlayer::loadURL(URL audioURL)
{
    auto* reader = formatManager.createReaderFor(audioURL.createInputStream(false));
    if (reader != nullptr) // good file!
    {       
        std::unique_ptr<AudioFormatReaderSource> newSource (new AudioFormatReaderSource (reader, 
true)); 
        transportSource.setSource (newSource.get(), 0, nullptr, reader->sampleRate);             
        readerSource.reset (newSource.release());          
    }
}

I’m not sure how to access a file that is in BinaryData. I know the non-BinaryData version of “File audioFile (”/path/to/guitar.wav");" but what is the BinaryData way of calling a file like that so it will work with my cMake file. If that makes sense.
Thank you!

BinaryData files are simply byte arrays in memory. You can hook them up to the reader with a MemoryInputStream. Should be something like this:

MemoryInputStream stream(BinaryData::guitar_wav, BinaryData::guitar_wavSize, false);
auto reader = formatManager.createReaderFor(stream, true);
