Soundata is a Python library for loading and working with audio datasets in a standardized way, removing the need for writing custom loaders in every project, and improving reproducibility by providing tools to validate data against a canonical version. It speeds up research pipelines by allowing users to quickly download a dataset, load it into memory in a standardized and reproducible way, validate that the dataset is complete and correct, and more. Soundata is based and inspired on mirdata and design to complement mirdata by working with environmental sound, bioacoustic and speech datasets, among others. Soundata was created to be easy to use, easy to contribute to, and to increase reproducibility and standardize usage of sound datasets in a flexible way.
