Use the cue file in Ubuntu to automatically track ape and wav Files

Use the cue file in Ubuntu to automatically track ape and wav Files

Many music CD image files contain cue-format track separation files. In Ubuntu Linux, you can use some tools to achieve automatic track separation.

1. Tools to be installed in Ubuntu include flac and shntool.

$ Sudo apt-get install flac shntool

To directly split ape rails, you must compile and install mac codecs for linux. Alternatively, you must first convert the ape file to wav or falc format.

Ii. flac segmentation for cue indexes:

$ Shntool split-t "% n. % p-% t"-f example. cue-o flac music.flac-d outputdir

-D specifies the output directory of the falc file after the track separation. If not specified, it is generated in the current directory.

-T specifies the file name format of the output file. % n indicates the audio track number, % p indicates the player/artist, and % t indicates the title.

Similar to ape track Separation

$ Shntool split-t "% n. % p-% t"-f example. cue-o ape example. ape-d outputdir

At present, it seems that an error cannot be processed when ape is divided into multiple ape, but the ape is then transcoded to another format (flac, mp3 ...) There is no problem. There is no problem between flac and other formats.

The character set of the cue file should be the same as the character set currently used by the system. Otherwise, it is better to use iconv for transcoding. Otherwise, the generated file name may be garbled.
$ Iconv-f gb18030-t utf8 CDImage. cue-o CDImage-linux.cue
$ Dos2unix CDImage-linux.cue.

3. Convert ape to wav or flac format

$ Avconv-I CDImage. ape CDImage.flac/ape -----> flac. Previously, ffmpeg was used, and now avconv is used.
$ Avconv-I CDImage.wav CDImage.flac // wav -----> flac
$ Avconv-I CDImage. ape CDImage.wav // ape ----> wav

Iv. Conversion of other formats

$ Flac CDImage.wav CDImage.flac // wav ----> flac
$ Shnconv-I ape-o flac CDImage. ape // ape -----> flac
$ Shnconv-I flac-o ape CDImage.flac // flac -----> ape

V. Script audio-cue-split.sh

Then

Echo-e "Usage: audio-cue-split.sh [AUDIO_FILE_NAME] [DECODE_MODULE]"
Echo "example: audio-cue-split.sh CDImage.wav"

CUE_FILE = $ FILE_PREFIX.cue

# Echo AUDIO_FILE = $ AUDIO_FILE
# Echo DECODE_MODULE = $ DECODE_MODULE

# Echo CUE_FILE = $ CUE_FILE

Iconv-f gb18030-t utf8 "$ CUE_FILE"-o "$ CUE_FILE_LINUX"
Dos2unix "$ CUE_FILE_LINUX"
Shntool split-t "% n-% t"-f "$ CUE_FILE_LINUX"-o $ DECODE_MODULE "$ AUDIO_FILE"

If ["$ CONVERT" = "true"-a "$ __file "! = ""]
Then

Echo-e "Remove temporary flac file: $ pai_file"
Rm-f "$ pai_file"
