how to load m4a file in python

Question:

Is there an easy way to load m4a sound file in python. I’ve came across audiotools lib but I’m getting an error while using to_pcm fn

audiotools.open('file.m4a').to_pcm()

Here’s how you would do it using the pydub library:

from pydub import AudioSegment
audio = AudioSegment.from_file('file.m4a')
