that worked! thank you!
that being said I wonder if there is a program the auto-detects the pauses, meaning it self-edits.
This avid method is 100% manual, which means I have to fast-forward every song and save…but hey, I still have the training wheels on, as it were so more to explore.
dense reading (the stack article) but gave me some insight on what you can trick out ffmpeg to do.
OP’s dilemma similar to mine:
“(I wanted to split the recording of all of Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos into particular songs, the 2 LPs are 2 hours long, @ 44 kHz 16bit stereo that is 1.4 GB in memory and very slow).”
Assuming the record label/producer did split with the concerto up like a rock album–with pauses between songs/pieces–then pydub is interesting.
However there is a lot of wiggle room in OP’s words: maybe the record is 1 hour straight (per disk? per side?), no breaks? Then pydub would have to listen for LIVE music and LIVE musicians to finish the piece a second before composer guides them into the next act. So no natural pauses.
In fact, the pydub pause detection thresholds–and its imperfection/needs tweaking numbers–was an interesting aspect of that thread dialogue.
food for thought, thank you.
