Snippetizer

Snippetizer uses ffmpeg and ffprobe to create snippets from audio files.

Snippets default to a 30 second bit from the middle of the song, and are faded in and out.

Installation

• Copy the snippetizer file to ~/bin; or
• Clone the repo and create a symlink to snippetizer in ~/bin

Usage

snippetizer audio_file.wav

Arguments

[start|middle|end]    What part of the file you want to snippet.
                      Defaults to 'middle'.
[<any integer>]       Snippet length in seconds.
                      Defaults to '30'.
[-o/--ogg]            Use ogg as output format instead of mp3.
[-n/--nofade]         Don’t fade in and out.

Batching example

Create 30 second snippets of all flac and wav files in current directory:

find . -maxdepth 1 \( -iname '*.wav' -o -iname '*.flac' \) -execdir snippetizer {} \;
