Reading Audio Files in Python
There are a selection of Python libraries that you can use to play audio files. A few of these libraries let you play a range of audio formats, including MP3 and NumPy arrays. All of these libraries let you play WAV files, some with a few more lines of code than others:
playsound is the most straightforward package to use if you simply want to play a WAV or MP3 file. It offers no functionality other than simple playback.
simpleaudio lets you play WAV files and NumPy arrays, and gives you options to check whether a file is still playing.
winsound allows you to play WAV files or beep your speakers, but it works only on Windows.
python-sounddevice and pyaudio provide bindings for the PortAudio library for cross-platform playback of WAV files.
pydub requires pyaudio for audio playback, but with ffmpeg installed, it lets you play a large range of audio formats with only a few lines of code.
Let’s have a look at these libraries for audio playback one by one.
