What it supplies: The README presents Pydub as a simple Python library for opening, editing and exporting audio.
Useful for: - Convert between audio formats that ffmpeg supports.
- Slice, concatenate and change the volume of clips.
- Play audio through simpleaudio, pyaudio or ffplay.
First action: - Install with pip install pydub.
- Install ffmpeg or libav if you need mp3 or other non-WAV formats.
- Open a file with AudioSegment and slice it by milliseconds.
Prerequisites and limits: The README requires ffmpeg or libav for non-WAV files and gives no Python version in the text read.
- Non-WAV formats depend on an external ffmpeg or libav install.
- Segments are immutable, so every edit creates a new segment.
- The full API is in a separate document that was not read.
Source-documented: the licence section is titled MIT License. Audio you edit keeps its own copyright.
Written from the README text only. Statements are as the README gives them; nothing was installed or run.
Based on README text only; the API document and later sections were not read. Nothing was installed or run.
