audio - Python library for converting files to MP3 and setting their quality

Question

I'm trying to find a Python library that would take an audio file (e.g. .ogg, .wav) and convert it into mp3 for playback on a webpage.

Also, any thoughts on setting its quality for playback would be great.

Thank you.

Answer 1

I wrote a library designed to do that =D

from pydub import AudioSegment
AudioSegment.from_file("/input/file").export("/output/file", format="mp3")

Easy!

to specify a bitrate, just use the bitrate kwarg…

from pydub import AudioSegment
sound = AudioSegment.from_file("/input/file")
sound.export("/output/file", format="mp3", bitrate="128k")
