Convert wave audio to number
Is there any software that can convert audio from a wav file into numbers? any idea how this could be done.
I'm not sure what you are asking... When you say numbers what are you referring to file format or ? Ask yourself this... What is it that you are trying to accomplish and maybe I can be of more assistance.

Hi Warlock, I will do my best to clarify.
I have been playing around with Pro Tools and noticed that each recording is shown as a visual representation in waveform. I was wondering if there is any method whereby I could somehow export/alter this information in a purely numerical form. The waveform just shows the amplitude over time, and this information appears to be unique for a piece of music.
So the information I am after would consist of a series of time and amplitude for a piece, which could then be stored in a separate database.

what do you want to achieve by putting this in a database?
Merijn, I'm not 100% sure on this but I think he/she is referring to the word db but maybe means saving it into another file.

I merely just want the data stored somewhere where the numerical values can be analyzed, specifically the proportional changes in amplitude. I guess it cant be accomplished by existing software so I am awarding points for effort.
I thought that this sort of technology would be available for creating a digital fingerprint for each audio track. and tha software like this might exist for identifying the origins of any particular piece of music.
