Copy Audio Files using Azure Data Factory

Question

How can I copy audio files (format: .wav) from our sFTP server to Azure Blob storage? We don't see any settings in file formats that would allow for a .wav file to be copied/moved using Data Factory.

Thanks,

Hi @Derek Solt ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum and thanks for reaching out here.

Currently ADF supports only the below file formats.

But if your requirement is just to copy the audio file from source location to sink location then you can achieve it by using binary datasets both in source and sink of a copy activity.

When using Binary dataset, the service does not parse file content but treat it as-is.

For more info about binary dataset, please refer to this doc: Binary format in Azure Data Factory and Synapse Analytics

Please Note: When using Binary dataset in copy activity, you can only copy from Binary dataset to Binary dataset.

Hope this info helps. Do let us know if you have further query.
