I'm not sure what you mean.

Binary is : 011100011001
All files on a computer, whether audio, video or program, are stored as binary data.

The file format is what determines how the binary data is interpreted. Audio, for instance, can be a variety of formats: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_file_format#Types_of_formats

What format are you looking to convert your audio into?
My closest guess would be uncompressed WAV.

You'll need a Hex Editor for that. You should be able to find some freeware or opensource ones on google easily.

I'm not sure what you're expecting to see though. Binary and Hex representations of files are pure gibberish. Unless I'm not understanding something.

Ah, that makes sense. Your best bet is to find a freeware Hex Editor. I think most of them allow you to see the binary data as well as the hex.2010-09-06 18:36:00

Generally the opensource ones should be safe.

I've tried a few but I haven't been able to find one that displays as Binary (Ironically, one program called "Binary Viewer" did not actually display files in Binary). All of the hex editors I've tried seem to only display as Hexadecimal, Decimal and Octal. Viewing as Binary does not seem to be as common as I hoped.

It's simple to convert from Hexadecimal into Binary, but it's a pretty slow process to be doing manually.

I can't help much more than that unfortunately.
