Hi all, Recently I was trying to join and split mp3 files for some purposes. While joining the files, I tried using 'cat' for joining mp3 files and 'mp3splt' for splitting the files. I followed http://lyncd.com/2009/02/how-to-merge-mp3-files/ for the instructions to join the mp3 files.
The merging operation happened ok but the timing information attached with the concatened file was incorrect and changing while the audio was playing. For example if I had joined 3 audio clips into 1. The timing information for the combined clip was correct till the first clip part of it was playing. As soon as the second clip part started, the timing information started to change continuously. I realize that this is due to some data/metadata present in combined file is incorrect and needs to be changed. There were some other solutions involving 'ffmpeg' and other tools like the one in http://lyncd.com/2009/02/how-to-merge-mp3-files/ but none seemed to get the timing information correct. But when I tried out the same thing in Windows using some tools (which were free as in free beer), the final output files had no issues with the timing. So I guess I am missing something while trying to do the same in my Ubuntu. Any explanations/comments are welcome. Thanks & Regards, Guruprasad. _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
