How to convert between different formats #223
-
Hi, I'm an intermediate Rust developer who knows nothing about audio. I'm writing a tool which talks to multiple APIs:
I want to convert back and forth, can I utilize lofty for this purpose? Can anyone point me to the right direction? Thanks in advance :) |

Hello! Lofty is only able to convert metadata between formats. To convert the actual audio you'll need another crate. You'd probably be best off using FFmpeg, either as a command or through the ffmpeg-next crate. There currently aren't any great pure Rust solutions for this. |
