Beep is a small Go library for audio playback and processing, built around a Streamer interface analogous to io.Reader. It supports decoding and playing WAV, MP3, OGG, and FLAC, encoding WAV, and composing effects like looping, mixing, volume, and playback speed. The repository is archived; development continues at gopxl/Beep.

Use cases

  • play sound effects in a Go game
  • play mp3 or ogg files from a Go application
  • generate artificial sounds programmatically in Go
  • apply audio effects like volume and playback speed
  • mix and sequence multiple audio streams
  • convert audio files to wav in Go

When to choose

  • you need simple stereo audio playback in a Go app
  • you want a small, composable audio library with an easy API
  • you need to generate or process audio streams in Go

When to avoid

  • you need multichannel (more than stereo) audio
  • you need actively maintained software - use gopxl/Beep instead
  • you need advanced audio formats or professional-grade processing
