Concatenating Audio Files in with Perl on a Mac
I need to create a lot of fairly-short audio files from the
concatenation of a lot of even shorter audio files. I'd like to control that from a Perl script. The audio files would presumably be AIFF or WAV files, preferable AIFF. Do any of you know of Perl commands to accomplish this? Specifically, * A call to create and open a new, empty AIFF or WAV file, * A call to append onto the end of that open audio file the audio content of an existing non-empty audio file, and * A call to close the created concatenation file. Thanks for the ideas! -- (Preferably reply to the newsgroup, please. If you reply by Email, I will sincerely try to receive your message, but it will probably get buried in spam.) |

I hope you are using OS X and have some knowledge of the Unix system, as it is convenient for scripting. "Yes" to both. I've done a bit of Perl scripting on my Sun workstation at work. Make a script that, using SOX strips headers and if needed convert to the same samplerate, samplewidth, etc., and outputs raw audio data to stdout. Input this raw datastream in SOX through stdin to generate a WAF or AIIF file. http://sox.sourceforge.net/ Ya know, thinking back a long time ago (I think it was around the time when MacOS 7 first came out!), I wrote some code code to dork around with AIFF files. I may be able to resurrect and adapt that code for doing the actual opening and writing of the AIFF files themselves. If I can find it, that is! -- (Preferably reply to the newsgroup, please.

Yeah, the sox stuff seems to be able to do almost anything. The syntax learning curve is a bit steep, though, as I recall from previous experiments.
