{
  # write wave files with lower case file extension
  data(list = c("Phae.long1"))
  writeWave(Phae.long1, file.path(tempdir(), "Phae.long1.wav"))

  # read from selection table
  read_wave(X = lbh_selec_table, index = 1, path = tempdir())

  # from extended selection table
  library(NatureSounds)
  read_wave(X = lbh.est, index = 1)

  # read WAV
  filepath <- system.file("extdata", "recording.wav", package = "bioacoustics")
  read_wave(filepath)

  # read MP3
  filepath <- system.file("extdata", "recording.mp3", package = "bioacoustics")
  read_wave(filepath)
