Audio File Input

Reads audio files — .wav, .mp3, .flac, .ogg, .m4a and more — one row per file, with each file's format, sample rate, channels, bit depth, duration and size.

When to use it

Start any audio flow with it: a single recording, a folder of calls, or the files an Input Folder, a Loop or an S3 Input hands over.

In a pipeline

Worth knowing

  • WAV is read directly; every other format needs ffmpeg on the server (it is in FlowDoo's Docker image).
  • The audio itself stays in its file: each row names it in Audio Path, and every audio node after this one reads it from there.
  • Bit Depth is empty for lossy formats such as MP3, which do not have one.
