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
