Exercise

Play an audio file with PyDub

If you're working with audio files, chances are you want to listen to them.

PyDub's playback module provides a function called play() which can be passed an AudioSegment. Running the play() function with an AudioSegment passed in will play the AudioSegment out loud.

This can be helpful to check the quality of your audio files and assess any changes you need to make.

In this exercise you'll see how simple it is to use the play() function.

Remember: to use the play() function, you'll need simpleaudio or pyaudio installed for .wav files and ffmpeg for other kinds of files.

Instructions

  • Import play from the pydub.playback module.
