To work with audio datasets, you need to install the [`Audio`] feature as an extra dependency:  
```bash
pip install datasets[audio]
```  
<Tip warning={true}>  
To decode mp3 files, you need to have at least version 1.1.0 of the `libsndfile` system library. Usually, it's bundled with the python [`soundfile`](https://github.com/bastibe/python-soundfile) package, which is installed as an extra audio dependency for 🤗 Datasets.
For Linux, the required version of `libsndfile` is bundled with `soundfile` starting from version 0.12.0. You can run the following command to determine which version of `libsndfile` is being used by `soundfile`:  
```bash
python -c "import soundfile; print(soundfile.__libsndfile_version__)"
```
