sndfileio.sndget(path, start=0, end=0)[source]

Read a soundfile and its metadata

Parameters:

path (str) – the path to read
start (float) – the time to start reading
end (float) – the time to end reading (0=until the end)

Return type:

tuple[ndarray, SndInfo]

Returns:

a tuple (samples – np.ndarray, SndInfo)

Example

# Normalize and save as flac, keeping the metadata
from sndfileio import *
samples, info = sndget("in.wav")
maxvalue = max(samples.max(), -samples.min())
samples *= 1/maxvalue
sndwrite("out.flac", samples, info.samplerate, metadata=info.metadata)
