Symphonia is a pure Rust library for audio decoding, media container demuxing, and metadata/tag reading, supporting formats like FLAC, MP3, AAC, Vorbis, WAV, MP4, OGG, and MKV. It is 100% safe Rust with minimal dependencies, automatic format detection, and gapless playback support.

Use cases

  • decode mp3 and flac files in a rust application
  • read id3 tags from audio files
  • demux audio from mp4 or mkv containers
  • build a music player with gapless playback in rust
  • convert audio files between formats without ffmpeg
  • detect audio format automatically from a byte stream

When to choose

  • you need a dependency-free, pure Rust audio decoder with no C libraries
  • you want safe Rust code for decoding popular audio codecs
  • you need metadata/tag reading alongside decoding
  • performance and safety are both priorities

When to avoid

  • you need video decoding, not just audio
  • you require a C API or WASM build (still planned)
  • you need exotic codecs not covered by the supported format list
