# Audio Decode Implementation With PyAV
*author: Junjie Jiang*
### Description
**Audio** **Decode** converts the encoded audio back to uncompressed audio frames. In most cases, audio decoding is the first step of an audio processing pipeline.
### Code Example
```Python
from towhee import pipe, ops, DataCollection
p = (
pipe.input('audio_file')
.flat_map('audio_file', 'frame', ops.audio_decode.ffmpeg())
.output('frame')
)
DataCollection(p('./music.mp3')).show(limit=1)
```
