[linux-audio-dev] mp3 fft with python

Hello, I would like to do a fft on an mp3 in python. I beleive I have all of the fft stuff straight in my mind but am not sure of the best way to get the sample data into a python array. I ran accross a web site a while back which suggested using sox to convert a wav file into a raw sample file and then open the raw file with python. However, I did not bookmark this site when I came accross it and cannot seem to find it now. If anyone has any suggestions as to a good way to get sample data out of an mp3 and into a python array for an fft I would greatly appreciate your suggestions. Thanks a lot. -Garett
