PyAudioPlay is a powerful software package that comprises of several Python classes. These classes work together seamlessly, utilizing modules such as pyao, pymad, aifc and wav, to create a feature-rich media player.

PyAudioPlay is written in Python and also supports the pyogg library. This means that it now has support for Ogg Vorbis files. Note that the API for this platform may not be stable at this time, so some minor adjustments may be required as you use the platform.

As for prerequisites, PyAudioPlay requires Python version 2.3 and pyao. Pymad is an optional library required for MP3 playback, and pyogg+pyvorbis is required for Vorbis playback. To enjoy playback, basic documentation exists in the audioplay.player module. Additionally, PyAudioPlay comes with a standalone command line player that is very easy to use.

In the newest version of PyAudioPlay, 0.2.4 beta, some MP3 files are misdetected by the MAD library as having sample rates that are incredibly low such as 24000 Hz. However, this problem has been solved, and these files are now automatically rectified to 44.1 kHz.
