Trying to, automatically, split some audio file

[agpardo]

Hello everybody, my name is Antonio Gonzalez and I am a PhD Student of Computer Science. I am involved in a proyect in which I need to split some audio files (wav files) into a lot of files. I need to split the audio in new files of 1 sec, 2 sec ... etc. So there are a lot of new audio files, from a unique wav file. I thought to do this task using Audacity, but I'd prefer to create a program which split the file automatically.

First of all, I tried to split a concrete wav file with audacity using the command line, (It doesn't matter if it's in linux or windows) but I haven't found the command. I think that there is no chance to do that.

So, the second options is to download the source code of audacity, search the method that split the file and try to automate it.

Does anybody know how to do this ?? I mean, the first options or the second one. Because I want to avoid the task of splitting the file by hand.

Thanks in advance.

You need Audacity 1.3 - one of the additional features is the ability to place labels at regular time intervals. You wil find it in 1.3 in the dropdown from Analyze.

You can download 1.3 from here: http://audacityteam.org/download/
