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]...

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 posi

tions 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); min

utes, 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

Quiet mode (no messages)

-H, --Hours

Use Hours as well as minutes and seconds. You may

combine this with the --frames option.

-f, --frames FPS

must be either 24, 25, or 30. You may combine this with the

--Hours option.

-s, --seconds

Use Seconds. You may not specify hours, minutes, or

frames.

-h, --help
