NAME

wavsplit - splits wavfiles into tracks

SYNOPSIS

wavsplit [options] file mm:ss [mm:ss] [mm:ss]...
wavsplit -H [options] file hh:mm:ss [hh:mm::ss] [hh:mm:ss]...
wavsplit -f [24|25|30] [options] file mm:ss:ff [mm:ss:ff] [mm:ss:ff]...

DESCRIPTION

This small program splits large wav files at given time positions. This is very handy if you want to transfer your gramophone records or DJ mixes to CDs. To find out split positions you can use any Wav player or editor with a time display. You'll get the splitting done much faster and reliably than with complex algorithms, which split your a capella songs in pieces and won't process live albums.
You can specify split points in seconds only (--seconds); minutes and seconds; hours, minutes, and seconds (--hours); minutes, seconds, frames (--frames); or hours, minutes, seconds, frames (--frames --Hours). When specifying times in seconds (i.e. not using --frames) the seconds may have a decimal point and fractions of a second.

OPTIONS

Options may be specified in short or long form.

-q, --quiet

-H, --Hours

Use Hours as well as minutes and seconds. You may combine this with the --frames option.

-s, --seconds
