Cross-platform Python module for decoding compressed audio files.

Project description

"decoder.py" is a cross-platform module for decoding compressed audio files.
It uses external decoders by turning their stdout into a file-like object which is completely compatible with the Wave_read
class from wave.py module.

With it you can decode the following file formats:
MPEG Layers 1, 2, and 3 ( *.mp1, *.mp2, *.mp3 ),
MPEG-4 HE-AAC ( *.mp4, *.m4a, *.m4b, *.aac ),
OGG Vorbis ( *.ogg ),
Free Lossless Audio Codec ( *.flac ),
Windows Media Audio ( *.wma )

In combination with PyAudio, or some similar module/library, you can use "decoder.py" to play compressed audio files.

For full documentation consult the source code.
