I was just wondering if anyone had libs that allowed you
to create wav files just by raw manipulation.

I figure if you made a random wav file generator and prompted the
user: Did that sound good y/n?
that you can have the program store these .wavs that sounded good into
a database.

Then using whatever type of random assembling of databased objects and
random wavs, the program can create new and possibly larger wavs for the
user to be prompted.

There are a bunch of people out there with no life, no musical ability,
but they know what they like to hear.  I figure the time taken to
actually make a decent song wouldn't be more than a day.  And the
components used to build the song can be taken out of the 'sounds good
databse' so the next song built wouldn't sound like the old.   Also
there should be a way to import some .wavs into the database to start
with if the person tires of hearing ranom distored static like sounds
too much.   This really wouldn't take very long to program either as far
as I can see it.
