I hope this is okay for me to post in here. It’s about music :)
So I’m currently digitizing my records. This is easy to do for CDs. I got myself a dvd drive and just rip them to flac files on my computer. Tagging is easy too pulling the data from music brainz. Vinyl records are a little bit of a different story though because for each side of a record I get one long audio file. Splitting up the files to individual tracks is a very tedious process. I’m currently doing that manually with audacity and then exporting them to flac files.
Does anyone have an idea to do that more easily? Maybe even automate parts of the process. After all music brainz has all the track lenghts available. So in theory it should be possible to automate this to some degree.
Any ideas are welcome. Thank you.
Splitting a recording into separate tracks - Audacity Manual Super easy to do. Back in the Cool Edit days I digitized hundreds of LPs by hand, it is a bit of a chore.
That’s what I’m doing atm.
Audacity can automatically insert labels at silences - it’s detailed in that link. It does all the work for you.
