I am fairly new to C++ and Eclipse.
I figured out how to open an MP3 file and output the contents of the file to the console, but it is displayed in a coded format. I am trying to look for patterns so I need the fstream to be binary (or hexadecimal is fine). When I output the content of the fstream to the console I get:
File is open!
ID3 bTIT2 Stupid Song
(Truncated for simplification)
What I expect is what I see when I open the mp3 in a hex editor:
33 03 00 00 00 01 09 62 54 49 54 32 00 00
00 00 00 52 74 75 70 69 64 20 53 6F 6E 67
What am I doing wrong? Is it a console setting, an issue with it being a string? Something else entirely? Thanks for your help!
