Dividing up a .WAV

[Replicant]

We are producing cd's of .wav files that are written in CD audio
format. I was wondering if there was a tool in the unix world that
would allow for batch processing of .wav files to produce as many
..wav's need to be less than 60 minutes?

I have looked at several tools and all of them require manual
intervention to divide up the wav file. I would like to pass the
recording and a time marker and have it divide the recording up
accordingly.

Just didnt know if anything like this existed?

thanks,
Apoc

This software will take an existing .wav file and automatically split
it into tracks depending on the presence of a gap lasting a certain
amount of time. I generally assign track numbers to any passage
terminated in at least 2 seconds of silence at less than 0.5% of full
scale. You can, however, choose the length of the gap and the maximum
level that constitutes "silence" in your particular .wav files. The
numbers I chose work well for CDs and original tapes. For files made
from LP's, you might want to consider 1-2% maximum level as silence.
