## Environment info
<!-- You can run the command `datasets-cli env` and copy-and-paste its output below. -->
- `datasets` version: 1.18.3
- Platform: Linux-4.19.0-18-cloud-amd64-x86_64-with-debian-10.11
- Python version: 3.7.3
- PyArrow version: 7.0.0


Comments:
Hi @i-am-neo,

The audio support is an extra feature of `datasets` and therefore it must be installed as an additional optional dependency:
```shell
pip install datasets[audio]
```
Additionally, for specific MP3 support (which is not the case for AMI dataset, that contains WAV audio files), there is another third-party dependency on `torchaudio`.

You have all the information in our docs: https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/audio_process#installation

Thanks @albertvillanova . Unfortunately the error persists after installing ```datasets[audio]```. Can you direct towards a solution?

```
pip3 install datasets[audio]
```

Original error:
sndfile library not found


Hi @i-am-neo, thanks again for your detailed report.

Our `datasets` library support for audio relies on a third-party Python library called `librosa`, which is installed when you do:
```shell
pip install datasets[audio]
```

However, the `librosa` library has a dependency on `soundfile`; and `soundfile` depends on a non-Python package called `sndfile`. 

On Linux (which is your case), this must be installed manually using your operating system package manager, for example:
```shell
sudo apt-get install libsndfile1
```

Please, let me know if this works and if so, I will update our docs with all this information.

@albertvillanova thanks, all good.  The key is ```libsndfile1``` - it may help others to note that in your docs.  I had installed libsndfile previously.
