I am unable to find where we give .wav file into this code. can you explain?? @dschwertfeger
maybe you r working with metadata??

My question is, if we don't have any metadata then what should we do ??

The wave files are read from the file paths in the dataframe (which is created from the meta CSV). See lines 143-150:

file_path = self.df.file_path.iloc[index]
label = self.df.label.iloc[index]

raw_audio = tf.io.read_file(file_path)
audio, sample_rate = tf.audio.decode_wav(
                    raw_audio,
                    desired_channels=1,  # mono
                    desired_samples=self.sample_rate * self.duration)

You'll obviously need a list of audio files in order to create this kind of TFRecord file.
