I normally reach for the sox toolkit for jobs like this.

Yes, it's amazing what one can get done with SoX and a Makefile to drive
it. Also, 'normalize' is a good command line program. Isn't ecasound
command line too? I think there was an article in a Linux Journal
magazine earlier this year that wrote specificly about command line
sound file manipulation.

Best of luck....


Thanks to all who responded. sox is the imagemagick of sound! :-)

I haven't been able to completely automate my workflow on these
unfortunately. One thing I found was that sox seemed to add a click
at every file boundary that I had to manually remove in audacity in
order for normalization to do much anything (since the click's
magnitude was pretty large in magnitude). The windows utility
WAVmerge didn't seem to have this issue when glomming WAV's together
so I'm not sure if sox is perhaps doing something inelegant in that
operation.

Due to the trouble normalizing, I haven't played with automated
splitting yet, but opted to do it visually in audacity. Audacity's
track splitting on labels is not quite as elegant as it could be.

Thanks much for everyone who responded. Sox and ecatools have been
fun to play with.

Best Regards,
