you get a lot of 0's and 1's (very man, since there are usually
16*2*44100 per second on a stereo cd quality track). it would be easy
to write a quick hack that would dump it and then another to convert
it back from text, but really you're going to have a hell of a time
doing anything with it. if you want to work at that level learn a bit
of c programming which will let you read, generate, modify and write
back the data from there...play with the numbers and see what comes
out. doing it by hand is not an option, no matter how 'in the groove
you get'. video is even less of an option
