A simple command-line utility that converts [.TAP](http://fileformats.archiveteam.org/wiki/TAP_(ZX_Spectrum)) files, a data format used by ZX Spectrum emulators, into [WAV](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAV) sound files.
For a similar tool that converts binary files into WAV format for the BK-0010 personal computer, check out [bkbin2wav](https://github.com/raydac/bkbin2wav).
# How to build?
Simply clone the project and build it using Maven with the command:
```bash
mvn clean install -Ppublish
```
Alternatively, you can download [a prebuilt version from the latest release](https://github.com/raydac/zxtap-to-wav/releases/tag/1.0.3).
# Arguments
```
-a amplify sound signal
-f int
frequency of result wav, in Hz (default 22050)
-g int
time gap between sound blocks, in seconds (default 1)
-i string
source TAP file
-o string
target WAV file
-s add silence before the first file
```
# Example
```
zxtap2wav -i RENEGADE.tap
zxtap2wav -a -i RENEGADE.tap -o RENEGADE.wav -f 44100 -s
```
# How to?
## Make longer silence interval between files in WAV
Just add `-g 2` or `-g 3` to make delay in 2 or 3 seconds.
## Add silence in start of generated WAV file
Use `-s` and silence will be generated in start of WAV file.
## I want 44100 Hz quantized WAV
Use parameter `-f 44100`
## Sound is too silent
Use flag `-a` and generated sound in WAV will be amplified to maximum.
