Hi All, I want to convert my record collection MP3 and I am looking for a way to do it. Somewhere in my memory is a program that will record what comes into the sound card and indentify the pauses between songs and separate them into individual WAV files. Once in WAV, the conversion to MP3 is pretty easy. However, it is this first step that has me stumped. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreaciated. Regards, jimmo

Hi Jim, you probably talk about gramofile. It's a nice command line tool that will record up to 100 minutes to wav. It has options to detect spaces between tracks and split into seperate wav files(I used this option for estimates and corrected it afterwards by listening into my recorded wav file), play wav-files and apply filters (to remove noise). I used both cdrecord and cdrdao to burn my recorded files to (audio) CD. I used lame to convert to mp3, but there are a bunch more programs out there. have fun, Juergen -- =========================================== __ _ Juergen Braukmann juergen.braukmann@gmx.de| -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Tel: 0201-743648 dk4jb@db0qs.#nrw.deu.eu | /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ===========================================_\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\

I guess the program you are looking for is DAP (Digital Audio Processor), series snd. The recorded sound is saved in the .aiff format (same big size as .wav, about 10 MB a minute). This can be converted to mp3 with bladeenc: bladeenc Song.aiff Some further explanation of DAP: after entering the DAP command (mind the upper case characters) choose file --> new and choose 16-bit, stereo, 44100 Hz. Press the "Mixer" button and in the new screen choose Line > Rec. In the main screen press 'Record', start the music and press 'Sample'. Press 'Stop' when finished. If things do not go well the first time, try adjusting the buttons in the mixer and record screen. In the main screen, you could press the 'Play' button to play the music, and save it with File --> Save as, naming it something like Mysong.aiff. I suppose that automatically identifying the pauses and separating the numbers into individual files is possible with DAP, but I have not investigated this. Sjoerd
Suse 7.1 I found the upgrade to DAP 2.1.2 necessary as the version that came with Suse 7.1 was buggy. This may have been changed now. I have not found any way for DAP to identify pauses. It is very good - but does not automate the recording of tracks. Brian Marr On Wednesday 26 December 2001 23:54, you wrote:

Gramofile was made for that purpose, although I have not yet investigated on the "detect pause time" option (or what was it called there?)
bladeenc Song.aiff
What I am after is that if I copy say 90 min of sound to say maybe 10 splitted wav tracks, I want to convert them all (all 10 in one directory) to 10 mp3 files in one command on the console. i am trying to write me sort of a mp3_2_wav script, but yet it does not work. so before i go like reinventing wheels here, has someone such a script (no x, just console script!) that maybe uses the mpq123 -w option?

Hi Oliver, there are scripts that do that. It had been published in the c't magazine, issue 3 and 8, 2000. Basicly, it is about burning CD's, the 8/2000 issue also mentiones audio conversions (both mp3 <--> wav). They use "lame" and a script that converts direct from cd to mp3 with cddb lookups. It is a bunch of packages that you need to d/l: - lame - disc-cover (said to be needed to get track names, doesn't work for me) - perl-cddb library (on the disc-cover website) - the scripts from c't (probably) lame can convert multiple tracks since it converts single tracks: for ii in *.wav do lame -mj -h $ii `basename $ii .wav`.mp3 done further, my notes tell me there is no man page to lame; try "lame -?" lame: http://www.sulaco.org/mp3 disc-cover: http://www.wi.leidenuniv.nl/~jvhemert/disc-cover (you get the needed perl modul there as well) the listtings from c't: ftp://ftp.heise.de/pub/ct/listings/0008-194.tgz I hope I thought of everything.

hm. Did you want mp32wav or wav2mp3? -w, AFAIK, creates wav files from mp3 With lame, you could do something like for i in *.wav; do lame $i done Have you looked at ogg? It is a better format (smaller files, better quality) and it's free, and there are players for most (all?) environments. oggenc can also handle multiple input files. Anders

Try the following website(s), they explain how you would connect your audio (casset player or record player) to your sound card so the Line-out of the audio component can be recorded through the Line-in of your sound card. Thus creating wav files that can be easily converted to mp3 files. http://mp3.barolyn.com/info/rec-tapes.html http://www.charlotteappleclub.org/reference/005.html A friend of mine from work has done this with good results. oo> > I suppose that automatically identifying the pauses and separating the oo> > numbers into individual files is possible with DAP, but I have not oo> > investigated this. oo> oo> Regards, olli oo> oo> -- S.Toms - smotrs at mindspring.com - www.mindspring.com/~smotrs SuSE Linux v7.3+ - Kernel 2.4.10-4GB

Regards, olli Hi Oliver,
This program may be what you are after. It can be either run under X or from the command line. It allows you to record directly from a specified input to either a mp3 or wav file. The file can be split into a predetermined time length during the recording session. khdrecord can be obtained from http://software.jodda.de/ Regards, Graham Smith ----------------------------------------

I know with an audio cd you can use cdparanoia -B. That won't work if you're using a phono with line-in, though. I would be very interested in knowing how to get a similar result with line-in recording. I've been using Creative Wave Studio (comes with PCI 128 sound card) in Windows, manually cutting the long wav of one side of an audio cassette into the individual wavs of the separate songs. The two aspects of this I don't like are 1. Doing it in Windows 2. It's a pain and rather time consuming breaking it up into individual wavs by hand. *************************************************** Powered by SuSE Linux 7.2 Professional KDE 2.1.2 KMail 1.2 Bryan S.
