There's only one, long forgotten Windows DAW which works the way I do, but, more recently, a C programmer (Sed) wrote the utterly brilliant program 'audiotag' *, with which I can use the pointer right where the zoomed in (by scroll wheel) visualisation of the wave is and a left click sets a marker, which can then become the beginning or end of a new region. Right click plays from that marker (or stops, if playing). A new line of information is output when a new region is created and those lines can be assembled into a playlist file. They look like: REGION "/home/john/0WAVs/louder/Fri0304.wav" 00:00:01.14181 00:00:05.07359 (saved 2020 04 18 T 10 40 25) Having tried sox and lame using the 'dump' program (which Sed gave me to play the regions) via aplay - I think you're right that a new approach would be better. Could parse those lines in Python :) * http://sed.free.fr/audiotag/ (although 'dump' isn't with it) > [1]: Ardour, audacity and others are gui-tools fulfilling this.
