areweaudioyet MP3 status

I think that support is here, but it'd be good to list on this site as it's a rather popular format.

I'd like to consume some API responses that are in mp3 audio, but it doesn't appear I can do that with rust yet.

Thanks for notifying! I'll create a post on the Discourse chat about the future of that crate. Let's see if people would be eager to improve it!

Awesome thanks for that! My current usage for mp3 is a response from Google Translate(well multiple mp3 files that represent up to 200 characters each). It's used purely for the opposite of what the deepspeech-rs project does, by turning text to speech.

Presently I use Electron with the Web Audio API to concatenate and merge the audio streams into a single file that can then be saved to a single file or played back in the app. This I hear is particularly tricky in some cases with mp3 to concatenate correctly(see 1, 2 as examples) so might serve as a good test for a rust implementation. AFAIK, the Web Audio API decodes to PCM to operate on.
