[FFmpeg-user] OMA playback

Thu Nov 21 00:41:20 EET 2024

 I also found this documentation regarding the .DAT files: https://www.waider.ie/hacks/workshop/c/mple/FILE_FORMAT_v2.txt

  I have uploaded the entire content of the walkman hard drive to my google drive. You can access it here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ToVg3nDB3c55cTU3Wnjv2Tnm-whd39Jd?usp=drive_link
There are other .DAT files in there:- the files starting with '03GINF' and '04CNTINF' seem to hold information about the songs (artist, album, etc.)- '00010013' is the file I sent you and has the EKB chunk in it- I don't know what the other ones are for There's also a .XML file which shows a 'DeviceID' and 'RelationshipID', I don't know if that's relevant. I hope this helps

 There are more .DAT files?

Are any of them having first few bytes as ascii characters that could
resemble chunk name?
