phiola is a fast audio player, recorder, converter for Windows, Linux & Android. Its low CPU consumption conserves the notebook/phone battery. You can issue commands to phiola via its CLI, TUI, GUI, system pipe and SDK interfaces. Its fast startup time allows using it from custom scripts on a “play-and-exit” or “record-and-exit” basis. It’s completely portable (all codecs are bundled) – you can run it directly from a read-only flash drive. It’s a free and open-source project, and you can use it as a standalone application or as a library for your own software.
