Django-Audiofield is a simple app that allows Audio files upload, management and conversion to different audio format (mp3, wav & ogg), which also makes it easy to play audio files into your Django application.
We are using the HTML5 and Flash audio player SoundManager2
Install Django-Audiofield:
python setup.py install

apt-get -y install libsox-fmt-mp3 libsox-fmt-all mpg321 dir2ogg ffmpeg
Note: For Debian version 7 (Wheezy) and older, replace ffmpeg with libav-tools

git clone git://git.libav.org/libav.git
cd libav
sudo ./configure --disable-yasm

in your settings.py file:
# Set Following variable
MEDIA_ROOT = ''
MEDIA_URL = ''
In MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES add 'audiofield.middleware.threadlocals.ThreadLocals'

# Frontend widget values
# 0-Keep original, 1-Mono, 2-Stereo
CHANNEL_TYPE_VALUE = 0

# 44100-44100Hz, 48000-48000Hz, 96000-96000Hz
FREQ_TYPE_VALUE = 8000
# 0-Keep original, 1-Convert to MP3, 2-Convert to WAV, 3-Convert to OGG
CONVERT_TYPE_VALUE = 0
Add the following lines in your models.py file:
from django.conf import settings
from audiofield.fields import AudioField
import os.path
# Add the audio field to your model
audio_file = AudioField(upload_to='your/upload/dir', blank=True,
ext_whitelist=(".mp3", ".wav", ".ogg"),
help_text=("Allowed type - .mp3, .wav, .ogg"))
# Add this method to your model
def audio_file_player(self):
"""audio player tag for admin"""
if self.audio_file:
file_url = settings.MEDIA_URL + str(self.audio_file)
player_string = '<audio src="%s" controls>Your browser does not support the audio element.</audio>' % (file_url)
return player_string
audio_file_player.allow_tags = True
audio_file_player.short_description = ('Audio file player')
Add the following lines in your admin.py:
from your_app.models import your_model_name
# add 'audio_file_player' tag to your admin view
list_display = (..., 'audio_file_player', ...)
actions = ['custom_delete_selected']
def custom_delete_selected(self, request, queryset):
#custom delete code
n = queryset.count()
for i in queryset:
if i.audio_file:
if os.path.exists(i.audio_file.path):
os.remove(i.audio_file.path)
i.delete()
self.message_user(request, ("Successfully deleted %d audio files.") % n)
custom_delete_selected.short_description = "Delete selected items"
def get_actions(self, request):
actions = super(AudioFileAdmin, self).get_actions(request)
del actions['delete_selected']
return actions
Then perform following commands to create the table and collect the static files:
./manage.py syncdb
./manage.py collectstatic
Create audiofield.log file:
touch /var/log/audio-field.log
