libsndfile is a widely-used[1][2] C library written by Erik de Castro Lopo for reading and writing audio files[3]. It supports a wide variety of audio encodings and sound file formats and will convert automatically from one to another[3]. It allows the programmer to ignore many details, such as endianness.

In addition to the library itself, the package provides command-line programs for converting one format to another (sndfile-convert), for playing audio files (sndfile-play), and for obtaining information about the contents of an audio file (sndfile-info).

libsndfile is available for Unix-like systems, including Linux and Mac OS X, and for Microsoft Windows[3]. It is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License[4].
