How It Works

Audio Processing Pipeline

1. File Selection:
   The user selects an audio file from the File menu. Supported formats include MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, M4A, AAC, and WMA.

2. FFmpeg Decoding:
   The selected file is passed to ffmpeg via a subprocess to extract raw audio data. The command used:

   ffmpeg -v quiet -i <file_path> -f f32le -acodec pcm_f32le -ac 2 -ar <samplerate> -

3. Data Processing:

   • Read Audio Data:
     The audio data is read in blocks and stored as a NumPy array for efficient processing.
   • Apply Volume Adjustment:
     The volume adjustment is applied by multiplying the audio array by a volume coefficient.
   • Playback Speed Adjustment:
     The playback speed (e.g., 2x) is managed via sounddevice by modifying the samplerate.

4. Playback:

   • Output Stream:
     The processed audio data is streamed to the audio output using the sounddevice library.
   • Playback Controls:
     Controls such as play/pause, next/previous track, and seek are handled via the AudioTrigger class.

Playback Management

• Play/Pause:
  Uses the AudioTrigger class to start/stop audio streaming.

• Next/Previous Track:
  Updates the current track index and loads the next/previous track in the playlist.

• Seek:
  Adjusts the playback position by recalculating the position index based on the slider value.

Track Queue Management

• Track Queue Widget:
  Displays the current playlist or folder contents.

• Playlist Widget:
  Allows the user to add and remove playlists.

• Track Info Widget:
  Shows metadata and artwork for the currently playing track.
