Convert binary files to different bit resolution

I've got a binary file in 24 bits that I would like to convert to 16 bits and 12..

Does anyone know if there is a simple way of doing it in matlab besides using fread(fid,inf,'bit24=>bit16') because that doesn't seem to be working..

Also tried to convert the bin file to a wav file and then decrease bit size with a program like Audacity. However, Audacity has its limits.. ie from 32 to 24 to 16.. no 12! What's up with that..

Hope you guys can help me. Thanks. Start a New Thread

There is no such thing like 12-bit WAVE. You can only clear 4 least
significant bits and save as 16-bit one.
