Hi Hart,
Looking into sox might be worth it... in particular the trim function
(there's a work in progress crop one too, but not sure what the status is).
I had created a (pretty simple and not-so-elegant) python script which
extracted portions of audio from a big wave file and then (crudely)
re-concatenated them using sox. The scripts reads start and end times
for the portions to extract from a simple text file.
If you think it could be useful I can share.
All the best,
Lorenzo

First of all, since I am totally blind, I enjoy only a console
interface, useing Speakup, a screen-reader.
Quite ofteen I will rip streams to either audio or video, however, I
would love to edit out commercials-and-other content not of interest.
Any-and-all Linux sound editors seem complicated, especially since I
would rather not edit raw audio.
In an ideal World, I would be more than wonderful if there were an
editor with playback features of mplayer or trplayer, but with editing
style of text editor such as Nano.
I mean, one could theoreticly arrow to a point in the
broadcast--and-mark with a block command. While trplayer was I think
made by some1 blind, it has several buttons you can push while real
audio or mp3s are playing, which will announce bit rate, elapsed
time-and-percentage, and title.
For me mplayer is really nice as it has an EQ, which I cannot run
directly with an mp3blaster. No EQ settings showup.
Right now, thanks to 1 of our LUG members here in Southern Cal, I can
now rip streams directly to mp3 useing sox, but for some reason it
always stops recording around 3hours18minutes?
Thanks so much in advance for suggestions.
