About Lyra Player
If you enjoy listening to audiobooks, you’ve probably found yourself getting frustrated more than once by the long wait for an audiobook to download from your computer to your mobile device.
Built on Google Lyra’s cutting-edge architecture, this app lets you play Lyra files at an ultra-low bitrate while maintaining impressive speech quality—even with incredibly small file sizes.
Use the companion "Lyra Codec" WinUI 3 app from the Microsoft Store to convert *.mp3 and *.wav audio files to the *.lyra format.
Play audio files using powerful, next-generation AI-powered compression technology from Google!
