Im working with an API that streams real-time audio in the MP3 format (44.1kHz/16bit) and I need to convert this stream to 8000/mulaw. I've tried several solutions, but all have run into issues due to the structure of the MP3 data.
My current approach is to decode and process each chunk of audio as it arrives, using PyDub and Python's audioop module. However, I often encounter errors that seem to arise from trying to decode a chunk of data that doesn't contain a complete MP3 frame.
I believe my issue stems from the fact that MP3 data is structured in frames, and I can't reliably decode the audio if a chunk doesn't contain a complete frame. Also, a frame could potentially be split between two chunks, so I can't decode them independently.
You could use librosa: to decode the MP3 stream in real time. Librosa has a function called load() that can decode an MP3 stream into a numpy array. You can then use this numpy array to perform the sample rate conversion and mulaw conversion. Here's a sample code:
This is an example of exporting an uncompressed but small size WAV file specific to a particular type of phone. The low sample rate of 8000 Hz means that the file will not contain frequencies higher than 4,000 Hz, so this file may not give the best results on other phones that have more capable speakers.
If your phone requires WAV files with slightly different characteristics than these you can adjust the instructions below appropriately. It's assumed you have already made the track mono as per "Convert stereo to mono".
If your phone has these same requirements this should also work for you; if your phone requires MP3 files with slightly different characteristics you can adjust the tutorial instructions below appropriately. It's assumed you have already made the track mono as per "Convert stereo to mono".

Variable-length binary data. n can be a value from 1 through 8,000. max indicates that the maximum storage size is 2^31-1 bytes. The storage size is the actual length of the data entered + 2 bytes. The data that is entered can be 0 bytes in length. The ANSI SQL synonym for varbinary is binary varying.
When converting data from a string data type to a binary or varbinary data type of unequal length, SQL Server pads or truncates the data on the right. These string data types are:
Converting data to the binary and varbinary data types is useful if binary data is the easiest way to move around data. At some point, you might convert a value type to a binary value of large enough size and then convert it back. This conversion always results in the same value if both conversions are taking place on the same version of SQL Server. The binary representation of a value might change from version to version of SQL Server.
However, the following SELECT statement shows that if the binary target is too small to hold the entire value, the leading digits are silently truncated so that the same number is stored as 0xe240:
Select data to convert:There are two options for entering data into this calculator: energy data or emissions data. When you enter energy data, the calculator converts these values into carbon dioxide-equivalent greenhouse gas emissions based on emission factors for energy consumption or electricity reductions. Then, it provides equivalent ways to express those emissions. When you enter emissions data, the calculator provides equivalent ways to express those emissions.
Carbon Dioxide or CO2 Equivalent* Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary greenhouse gas emitted through human activities. CO2 is naturally present in the atmosphere as part of the Earth's carbon cycle. The main human activity that emits CO2 is the combustion of fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil) for energy and transportation, although certain industrial processes and land-use changes also emit CO2.

Carbon Greenhouse gas emissions may be expressed in terms of a quantity of the gas itself (e.g., 1 ton of methane), an equivalent quantity of carbon dioxide (e.g., 28 tons of CO2 equivalent), or in terms of carbon (e.g., 7.63 tons of carbon). Carbon is often used as the unit of measurement when tracing emissions through the carbon cycle. To convert a quantity of carbon to the equivalent quantity of carbon dioxide, multiply by 3.67.
CH4 - Methane Methane (CH4) is a greenhouse gas emitted during the production and transport of coal, natural gas, and oil, or from the decomposition of organic waste in municipal landfills and the raising of livestock. Methane is also emitted by natural sources such as wetlands. Pound for pound, the impact of CH4 is 28 times greater than CO2 over a 100-year period. Link
Perfluorocarbon gases Fluorinated gases come from human-related activities. They are emitted through their use as substitutes for ozone-depleting substances (e.g., as refrigerants) and through industrial processes such as aluminum and semiconductor manufacturing. In general, fluorinated gases are the most potent and longest lasting type of greenhouse gases emitted by human activities. LinkCF4C2F6C4F10C6F14
SF6 - Sulfur Hexafluoride Fluorinated gases come from human-related activities. They are emitted through their use as substitutes for ozone-depleting substances (e.g., as refrigerants) and through industrial processes such as aluminum and semiconductor manufacturing. In general, fluorinated gases are the most potent and longest lasting type of greenhouse gases emitted by human activities. Link

You can ask the ADS office to convert any material that is required or recommended by your instructor for a course. This includes but is not limited to: textbooks, syllabi, tests, quizzes, course handouts, books needed for research, documents posted to Blackboard and materials required for internships.
Please note: If ADS cannot obtain an electronic version of your book, we will send you an email requesting that you bring in the hard copy. Please bring your hard copy directly to the ADS office; do not have your books shipped to ADS. We will chop off the spine and scan it to create an electronic file. We will return the hard copy to you rebound with plastic spiral binding. (NOTE: If you purchase or rent your books through the TU Bookstore, you will not be penalized upon reselling the purchased book or returning the rented book if it has been chopped and scanned by ADS.) If you rent your books from a source other than TU we cannot chop and scan them, so you will need to work with the Assistive Technology Coordinator to find a solution.
Most alternative formats require accompanying software. ADS will provide you with access to this software as a part of your accommodation while you attend TU. Our most commonly used text to speech software is Kurzweil.

Luminescent materials are widely used in white LEDs to convert part of the blue LED light into light with a longer wavelength, resulting in white light when both colors are well mixed. One way to integrate the luminescent material in the LED package is to deposit a thin luminescent layer on a planar carrier or disperse luminescent particles in the carrier material and then position the resulting wavelength conversion plate above one or more LEDs. It is very important that these wavelength conversion plates have the right properties to ensure homogeneous white light with a high efficiency and desired correlated color temperature (CCT). Key properties are the absorption and emission spectrum and the scattering and absorption coefficients. These properties strongly influence the color of the resulting light, but also the efficiency and the angular uniformity. This work describes an extensive study of the effect of the scattering and absorption coefficients in terms of the desired CCT. A computationally efficient extended Adding-Doubling method is used for the simulation of the light distribution and conversion in the planar wavelength conversion element. Ultimately an optimal combination with a high efficiency and low angular color deviation is desired. Different systems are investigated and optimal coefficients are found. With these findings a more targeted approach can be used in the manufacturing of wavelength conversion plates for white LEDs. The addition of scatterers or non-scattering luminescent particles can be used to obtain optimal scattering properties of the wavelength conversion plate.
