# racket-audio
Integration of common audio libraries in Racket.
The package contains decoder, player and encoder bindings. Playback uses the
existing audio player modules. Encoding is provided by `audio-encoder.rkt` with
Opus and FLAC backends.
## Native dependencies
For playback and decoding, install the native libraries used by the selected
backends:
- libao
- libFLAC
- mpg123
- FFmpeg libraries, including libavutil, libavcodec, libavformat and
libswresample
For encoding, also install:
- libopusenc
- libopus
- libogg
- TagLib with the C binding, usually provided as `taglib` / `taglib_c`
The Opus encoder backend uses libopusenc directly. The FLAC encoder backend
uses libFLAC directly. FLAC sample-rate conversion uses the existing FFmpeg
swresample layer. Metadata and cover-art copying use the TagLib wrapper; the
public `taglib.rkt` API also supports read-write tag editing.
## macOS
Using Homebrew, install the native libraries before using the package:
```sh
brew install libao
brew install flac
brew install mpg123
brew install ffmpeg
brew install opus
brew install libopusenc
brew install taglib
```
Some Homebrew installations provide FFmpeg as `ffmpeg`; older local setups may
use `ffmpeg-full`.
## Encoder examples
Encode to Opus:
```racket
(require "audio-encoder.rkt")
(audio-encode "input.flac"
"output.opus"
(hash 'bitrate 224000
'vbr? #t
'complexity 10)
#:encoder 'opus)
```
Encode 96 kHz FLAC to 48 kHz FLAC:
```racket
(audio-encode "input-96k.flac"
"output-48k.flac"
(hash 'sample-rate 48000
'bits-per-sample 24
'compression-level 8)
#:encoder 'flac)
```
A small test wrapper is available in `encoder-test.rkt`:
```sh
racket encoder-test.rkt --encoder opus --input input.flac --output output.opus --bitrate-kbps 224
racket encoder-test.rkt --encoder flac --input input-96k.flac --output output-48k.flac --sample-rate 48000
```
