TRACKSPLIT

NAME

tracksplit - split audio track

SYNOPSIS

tracksplit [OPTIONS] <track 1>

DESCRIPTION

tracksplit splits an audio track into several smaller tracks.

OPTIONS

-h, --help

show a list of options and exit

-I, --interactive

edit metadata in interactive mode prior to splitting file

--cue=FILENAME

the cuesheet to use for splitting track

-V, --verbose=VERBOSITY

The level of output to display. Choose between ’normal’, ’quiet’ and ’debug’.

ENCODING OPTIONS

-t, --type=TYPE

The audio format to convert the split tracks to. For a list of available audio formats, try: -t help.

-q, --quality=QUALITY

The desired quality of the split tracks. For a list of available quality modes for a given format, try: -q help

-d, --dir=DIRECTORY

The target directory for the split tracks. If none is given, the current working directory is used. If the target directory does not exist, it will be created automatically.

--format=STRING

The format string to use for new filenames. Template fields are replaced with metadata values when new tracks are created. All other text is left as-is. If this option is omitted, a default format string is used.

-j, --joint=PROCESSES
