tracksplit

tracksplit splits an audio track into several smaller tracks.

Options
-h, --help
show a list of options and exit
-I, --interactive
edit metadata in interactive mode prior to splitting file
--cue=FILENAME
the cuesheet to use for splitting track
-V, --verbose=VERBOSITY
The level of output to display. Choose between 'normal', 'quiet' and 'debug'.
Encoding Options
-t, --type=TYPE
The audio format to convert the split tracks to. For a list of available audio formats, try: -t help.
-q, --quality=QUALITY
The desired quality of the split tracks. For a list of available quality modes for a given format, try: -q help
-d, --dir=DIRECTORY
The target directory for the split tracks. If none is given, the current working directory is used. If the target directory does not exist, it will be created automatically.
--format=STRING
The format string to use for new filenames. Template fields are replaced with metadata values when new tracks are created. All other text is left as-is. If this option is omitted, a default format string is used.
-j, --joint=PROCESSES
The maximum number of tracks to convert at one time. If one has multiple CPUs or CPU cores, allowing tracksplit(1) to use all of them simultaneously can greatly increase encoding speed.
Cd lookup Options
--musicbrainz-server=HOSTNAME

--musicbrainz-port=PORT

--no-musicbrainz
