From version 1.0.18, libsndfile also reads and writes
|
|||
|
|
[FLAC](https://xiph.org/flac/) and [Ogg/Vorbis](https://xiph.org/vorbis/).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
From version 1.0.29, libsndfile can read and write
|
|||
|
|
[Ogg/Opus](https://opus-codec.org/).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
From version 1.1.0, libsndfile can read and write MP3.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Some of the file formats I am also interested in adding are:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Kurzweil K2000 sampler files.
|
|||
|
|
- Ogg Speex.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Other file formats may also be added on request.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you are interested in how to add a new format to a libsndfile, you may find
