Installation

To install audbcards run:

$ # source ${HOME}/.envs/audbcards/bin/activate
$ pip install audbcards

audbcards uses audiofile to access media files, which supports WAV, FLAC, OGG out of the box. audiofile requires the libsndfile C library, which should be installed on most systems. Under Ubuntu you can install it with

$ sudo apt-get install libsndfile1

In order to handle all possible audio files, please make sure ffmpeg, sox, and mediainfo are installed on your system. Under Ubuntu this can be achieved with

$ sudo apt-get install ffmpeg mediainfo sox libsox-fmt-mp3

Under Windows you have to install those libraries manually, and ensure that they are added to the PATH variable.
