So I wanted to work with audio files in Matlab. In the past, Matlab could only do this with auread and wavread, which can read *.au and *.wav files. With 2012b, Matlab introduced audioread, which claims to support *.wav, *.ogg, *.flac, *.au, *.mp3, and *.mp4, and simultaneously deprecated auread and wavread. Of these file formats, only *.au is capable of storing more than 4 Gb of audio data. But the documentation is actually wrong: audioread can actually read more data formats than documented...
