CSCore is a free .NET audio library written entirely in C#, offering playback, recording, encoding/decoding of many codecs, and realtime audio processing with custom effects. It has an extensible architecture for building music players, voice chats, and audio recorders.
Use cases
- play audio files in a .NET application
- record audio from a microphone in C#
- apply realtime audio effects during playback
- decode and encode mp3, flac, aac, or ogg files
- build a music player in C#
- create audio visualizations
- build a voice chat application
When to choose
- you need a feature-rich audio library for .NET with playback, recording, and codec support
- you want realtime audio processing with a highly extensible architecture
- your primary target is Windows
When to avoid
- you need full cross-platform support on Linux or macOS (only experimental)
- you need a library under a permissive license for FFmpeg-based features (LGPL applies)
- you need a very actively developed project
