To generate a waveform using the audiowaveform library, we need to do it in two steps.

Step 1: Create a binary format (.dat) file from the audio file
audiowaveform -i 3.mp3 -o 3.dat -z 256 -b 8

Step 2: Generate a image (.png) file using the binary data
audiowaveform -i 3.dat -o 3.png -z 256

audiowaveform is a C++ command-line application that generates waveform data from either MP3, WAV, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, or Opus format audio files. Waveform data can be used to produce a visual rendering of the audio.
