Removing Silence from the Ends of Audio Files
Hey Guys, I'm downloading albums from a site, (their Creative Commons releases, so it's all legal), but some of the albums have quite a bit of silence at the ends of the tracks. One I got the other day has a bit over two minutes! of silence at the end of each track. I've been told that Audacity can be used to cut off the end of the track and get rid of the silent part, but I don't know what else I would do with it other than that. It seems like overkill for me. Is there a simpler, preferably cheap or free, solution to removing the silence from these tracks? Thanks for any advice. Evan
Re: Removing Silence from the Ends of Audio Files
MP3 Direct Cut can directly edit MP3 files and it is much smaller and simpler to use than Audacity.

Thanks Rich, I'd heard of that before, now that you mention it.

Re: blindspot for spotify
Considering that it's written for screen reader users, it would not have really achieved its main objective if it wasn't accessible. However, its functionality is extremely limited and when I tried the first version, playback of tracks used 100 percent of one of my CPU cores. This, along with the overall functionality of the application, may've changed since my testing; I'm not sure whether there have been any updates. -- James Scholes http://twitter.com/JamesScholes
Re: blindspot for spotify
what version did you try? also when using the ap is there a volume control? can you access the playlists you find through the ap? - Original Message - From: James Scholes ja...@jls-radio.com To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2014 4:49 PM Subject: Re: blindspot for spotify Considering that it's written for screen reader users, it would not have really achieved its main objective if it wasn't accessible.

Re: Removing Silence from the Ends of Audio Files
First, Audacity itself is not confusing. Now to your question, GoldWave is a good solution for this. Audacity can do it also, but you have to deal with numbers. - Original Message - From: Evan Reese ment...@dslextreme.com To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2014 4:52 PM Subject: Removing Silence from the Ends of Audio Files Hey Guys, I'm downloading albums from a site, (their Creative Commons releases, so it's all legal), but some of the albums have quite a bit of silence at the ends of the tracks.

Re: Removing Silence from the Ends of Audio Files
Thanks Rich, but it looks like mp3 Direct Cut only works with mp3 files, which these are not. So I'll need to find another solution.

RE: Removing Silence from the Ends of Audio Files
I think this is correct (MP3 Direct Cut only will handle MP3 files.

My Denon AVR2113 Surround-Sound ReceiverAmazing What You Discover
Quite amazing, I never thought my unit had this function but it does and I've verified that by accessing it, the manual must have been updated since I last bothered reading it which was some time last year, I downloaded the manual again this morning and certainly not expecting to be reading about a web interface controller for the receiver smile. I can access everything regarding the unit from here, the menu system, the functions and even the media server. ** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 Fax +61397437954

Not startling news no but a good reference perhaps for someone.
