Hello folks,
I have a number of files that were transcribed from records. One side of the
record equals one wav file. I used to use gramofile to split them up.
Gramofile simply searched for the quiet passages and broke up the tracks,
based on user preferences.
Gramofile is no-more and my system has advanced to the point where gramofile
is broken and i cannot recompile it.
Is there another app that does the same thing (or can do it) and is still
active. Command line or gui makes no difference, but i have a preference for
qt/kde, though gtk based is ok.

this maybe (havent tried it):

personalyl i just use a wave editor / DAW with fast zooming, set markers on all the gaps,
then file->save marked segments as files or wahtever. works in Samplitude and Wavelab
anyways, and presumably at least one of the few dozen linux wave editors

For mastering my old albums to CD I use audacity for the recording & cleanup,
then use gcdmaster to create the CDs. It won't auto-split into tracks, but
the gui shows a waveform of your wav file - you can then position track
markers wherever you like & burn to CD. I always found gramofile seemed to
chop tracks a little short with it's autosplitting & I could never tweak it
just the way I liked it. This way, if I want individual tracks, I just use
the CD: grip -> ogg vorbis (gotta love my iRiver!). I find doing it that way
that the tracks don't end so abruptly and fade-outs properly fade out.
Now if audacity had this ability to apply track markers & generate a TOC file
for cdrdao, I wouldn't need gcdmaster at all ;-)
Cheers,

Hi,
I was always unhappy with the results of automatic splitting and split my
records mostly manually. May you want to give it a try, too.
I'm using a nice and very fast solution called gnowavcut
(http://gnowavcut.good-day.net/). It doesn't show any waveform but it starts
fast and allows to switch really fast through the soundfile, setting
splitpoints, removing to long breakes etc.
It also can be startet with the soundfile as parameter (gnowavcut <name of
soundfile>) and writes the splittet file in the current working directory.
I could achieve a good workflow by assigning .wav files to gnowavcut using the
file browser to open them.
Unfortunately gnowavcut just works for 16bit PCM files.
Another one is wavebreaker (http://huli.org/wavbreaker/) it has a wave form
view and supports also non 16 bit PCM but it's slower due to the wave form
calculation. At wavebreaker it also not possible to open a file direcly at
startup and you always have to set an output directory.
Finally both solutions are faster than audacity, if you just want to split.
