I don't think it's a good practice to store audio files in the database... it would make the tables bulky. what is usually done is to store the audio files in a folder and store the path in the database. Or you could just name the files with the Primary key values in the table, then you would not even need to store any extra information. you can access the file by using the primary key value + the audio file extension. for example A1000 the primary key value. the format is wav. your audio file would be stored at a known location as A1000.wav. No extra information stored! hope this helps...
