The free app Audacity (OS X, Windows, Linux/UNIX) allows you to open any 
file and treat it as a sound file (Project menu> Open Raw Data, wide 
variety of parameters you can choose to import the data through).

I used this feature last year working with a painter for a gallery 
opening to convert JPGs of his new paintings into sound snippets that I 
looped with Sooperlooper for the evening's music. Recently I have been 
working with changing the beat patterns from a text file by editing the 
text with tabs and line breaks as a kind of graphic score.
