Re: use of Audacity from command line
Command line functionality in the shipped version of Audacity is extremely limited.
The only current command-line functions are that you can open audio files or Audacity project files (including multiple files) by passing them as arguments, for example:
The following options are also supported:
-help
display a brief list of command line options.
-version
display the Audacity version number.
-test
run "Benchmark" diagnostics tests.
-blocksize
set the Audacity blocksize for writing files to disk of nnn bytes.
Some actions may be partly automated by using "Chains": http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/ch ... ation.html
Additional automation may be available by using a third party application such as "AutoKey".
If you build Audacity from the source code there is experimental scripting support that can be enabled: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/scripting.html
