Steve,
The beauty of the Linux command line! I love it!
Presumably if one file had a few seconds of silence at the start of
end I could just delete that by hand in vi? I don't know how far off in
lines diff can handle looking for a first match, but a few seconds could
end up being 100K lines...
Thanks,
Mark
I was looking for a solution that was possibly
more like 'diff',
where it finds where the differences begin in two text files even if the
line numbers are different. When I read through the rsync description I
didn't see that it would do that, but possibly it does.
This script turnes a pair of wav files into a pair of text files with one
sample per line and diffs them, it is pretty simple and did the job, but
its not very efficient. I used it to check dodgy spdif cables :)
run it with eg. "./audio-diff file1.wav file2.au"
it doesnt like float wav files though, cos it uses sox.
audio-diff:
-- cut --
#!
sox $1 /tmp/$$-a.dat
sox $2 /tmp/$$-b.dat
diff /tmp/$$-a.dat /tmp/$$-b.dat
rm -f /tmp/$$-a.dat /tmp/$$-b.dat
-- cut --
