"""

Compare the speed of several methods for reading and loading a sound file.

Optionally, this file can make use of the following packages:

    - audioread     https://github.com/beetbox/audioread
    - scipy         https://scipy.org
    - librosa       https://github.com/bmcfee/librosa
    - pydub         https://github.com/jiaaro/pydub

Uncomment the function names below and send us your speed results!
