## Pydub Reviews
  ### 1. Tool to help manipulate Audio, not perfect

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Caleb S. | Product Marketing Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 27, 2023

**What do you like best about Pydub?**

It is a simple set up and easy download from the website

**What do you dislike about Pydub?**

It is very sometime-ish, features do not always work, and the zip files often crashes

**What problems is Pydub solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We wanted to have more control over audio editing when it comes to videos and podcasts, Pydub helps us control this better.

  ### 2. Great for quick edits.

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Adeline D. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 16, 2018

**What do you like best about Pydub?**

I can easily reverse a song, simple to make changes in bulk, the possibility to add tags and album cover, useful effects, a detailed API and fast for quick edits.

**What do you dislike about Pydub?**

You need experience with Python, or you'll get confused, some results are hard to achieve, depending on how you run your script, FFmpeg keeps popping, which can be a nuisance.

**Recommendations to others considering Pydub:**

If you have an effect you constantly apply to your songs or need to make a quick fix, I recommend PyDub. It's hard in the beginning, but after you get familiar with the module, you'll be able to apply the effect in a few clicks.

**What problems is Pydub solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use when I need to match the length of music with video, add fade-in, fade-out, and silence to the beginning. It's perfect for quick fixes and edits for instructional videos.

  ### 3. Moderate

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Wireless | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 09, 2016

**What do you like best about Pydub?**

I have tried PyDub when I wanted to have a audio according to my requirement such that I can test my audio processing code. So, basically I tried to generate the test cases of my code using that. The best thing I liked was its documentation. Documentation was well elaborated and lucid.

**What do you dislike about Pydub?**

There was complexities in installing the library. I am not sure how did I resolved it but it was whole a headache. Apart from that, there is nothing that important that can I dislike.

**Recommendations to others considering Pydub:**

I suggested this library to my Junior batch who are currently working on Audio signal processing using Python. Also, for my current Bachelor thesis, I am using this library. My guide and their research scholars are planning to have an introductory session for this.
