Re: Extend Silences

Does anyone know of any silence extenders that allow you to specify a minimum and maximum silence length? No, but you could modify "ExtendSilence.ny" from this post: https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=247774#p247774 Probably the easiest way would be, at line 110, when you have...

Re: Labels to id3v2 mp3 chapters spec
