Somebody scribbled about Re: [expert] Gramofile and Splitting Tracks >I have had the same prob before, some tapes have a bad sig/noise ratio >or use shorter gaps between songs (or as in the old Chicago soundtrack I >did recently, some songs had no gaps at all).
Hmm. I haven't tried this with cassettes but if i remember, some tapes had a signal embedded in them - and i had a tape player years ago that had some kind of music skip feature in that it would seek to the next track. I hardly listen to anything other than cd's nowadays, though. But it brings up a thread on svlug i saw recently where people were discussing related things. Anyway, sox may be of use if you have the cassette .wav file -- there's apparently a 'silence' option that uses a threshold value and silences anything below that value. you might then have better luck in splitting the tracks. Anyway, it was years since i had a box that would do that music search thing, and it seemed to work well only on commercially-produced tapes. >My answer was to split the tracks manually, and I feathered the sound at >the end of each track down to 0 to make it sound better.. it worked IMHO it's better to do it in audacity since you can visualize the parts that are the gaps between the songs. I was planning on splitting up one big mp3 of a full album i had, but then later saw that soneone had posted the same album on usenet, with the songs split :). >Franki -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
