FLACPy

FLACPy is a high-performance Python extension for handling FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) file operations. This library is intended to resolve some of the shortcomings of existing popular libraries w.r.t. performance and metadata.

Features

• Fastest possible FLAC file encoding and decoding with libFLAC. If loading using a start offset and length the library will only read and decode the required portion of the file.
• Arbitrary metadata can be read/written when loading/saving without redundant file i/o.
• Audio data uses NumPy arrays and metadata uses Python dicts.
• Save FLAC files with a specified bit depth and compression level
• Save FLAC files with seektables for fast loading when using a start offset and length.

Installation

To install FLACPy, you can use pip:

pip install flacpy

Make sure you have the required dependencies installed, including NumPy and the FLAC libraries.
