librosa.load: file not found error on loading a file

Question

I am trying to use librosa to analyze .wav files. I started with creating a list which stores the names of all the .wav files it detected.

data_dir = \'/Users/r         


        

Answer 1

That error suggests librosa is unable to find FFMPEG executables, of which avconv is an example.

When not converting different samplerates, FFMPEG is often not needed. You can try to specify the sample size to be the original of the audio file during load()
