# Install ffmpeg
sudo apt install ffmpeg
# Install audiocaps-download
pip install audiocaps-download

  • Download csv file in here. The header of the CSV file are:
audiocap_id,youtube_id,start_time,caption
  • Download audio by following codes:
from audiocaps_download import Downloader
d = Downloader(root_path='data/T-X_pair_data/audiocap/', n_jobs=16)
d.download(format = 'wav')

The main class is audiocaps_download.Downloader. It is initialized using the following parameters:

  • root_path: the path to the directory where the dataset will be downloaded.

  • n_jobs: the number of parallel downloads. Default is 1. The methods of the class are:

  • download(format='vorbis', quality=5): downloads the dataset.

  • The format can be one of the following (supported by yt-dlp --audio-format parameter):

    • vorbis: downloads the dataset in Ogg Vorbis format. This is the default.
    • wav: downloads the dataset in WAV format.
    • mp3: downloads the dataset in MP3 format.
    • m4a: downloads the dataset in M4A format.
    • flac: downloads the dataset in FLAC format.
    • opus: downloads the dataset in Opus format.
    • webm: downloads the dataset in WebM format.
    • ... and many more.
    • The quality can be an integer between 0 and 10. Default is 5.

  • load_dataset(): reads the csv files from the original repository. It is not used externally.

  • download_file(...): downloads a single file. It is not used externally.

Postprocess

Once you've downloaded the dataset, please verify the download status, as some audio files may not have been successfully downloaded. Afterward, organize the dataset into a json file with the following format:

[   
    {
        "caption": "A woman talks nearby as water pours",
        "audio_name": "91139.wav"
    },
    {
        "caption": "The wind is blowing and rustling occurs",
        "audio_name": "11543.wav"
    },
    ...
]

The data file structure should be:

data/T-X_pair_data/audiocap
├── audiocap.json
├── audios
|   ├── 91139.wav
|   ├── 11543.wav
|   └── ...
