Project description

Test status code coverage audiofile's documentation audiofile's supported Python versions audiofile's MIT license

The Python package audiofile handles all kind of audio files with a focus on reading speed.

It can read and request information on channels, duration, number of samples and sampling rate for all files that are supported by ffmpeg, sox, and mediainfo. In addition, it can write WAV, FLAC, and OGG files.

Have a look at the installation and usage instructions as a starting point.

Code example for reading a file:

import audiofile as af

signal, sampling_rate = af.read('signal.wav')
