How can I mass rename many audio files? - audio

I need to rename many audio files, so that their file names show artist and song name. File formats are mp3 and flac. Is there a way to do it quickly? Or maybe there is a program for this?

I've used MP3Tag for this in the past. You can batch rename via sprintf()-ish format strings that pull various bits from ID3 tags.

Some recommended tag editors:

I just used the Java-based Entagged, which is really simple and smart, so I can recommend it:

Merge mp3 files without recode and make cue sheet pointing to individual tracks?

I have a lot audiobooks, each one is usually split into 20-60 files. It's not comfortable to navigate with audio players if I want to group them into some sets by genre (with [Album artist] ID3 tag set to "Various Artists").
Is there free windows or linux tool or set of tools, whose could do the following?
Merge the audiobook files to one mp3 without recoding
Carefully build correct CUE sheet with original ID3 tags pointing to former chapters inside new solid mp3 file.
You can easily join mp3 by simple concatenating them.
cat file1.mp3 file2.mp3 file3.mp3 file4.mp3 file5.mp3 > file-all.mp3
Tags can be extracted with ffprobe:
ffprobe file1.mp3
Cue sheets is text files, you can read about its format here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cue_sheet_(computing)
Since here questions related to programming, I will not post complete solution.
Don't use MP3, use Matroska (MKV). It supports all of these chapters and what not.
FFmpeg and mkvmerge are tools you can use for this. Use -c:a copy and the audio won't be re-encoded. (MKV support MP3 as a codec.)

Want to save Audio word in text file

I searched and found that it is possible to save audio word in a text file from a recorded audio file. Also found few softwares are available for this.
But don't get any algorithm or solution which is applicable for saving recognized audio word from live audio into a text file.
is there any expert or researcher who can help me to solve this problem?
Advance thanks to all expert.
What's your environment? Nowadays it could be possible online too!

Auralise Audacity annotations / Generate audio click track from list of click times

I'm trying to annotate musical audio file in Audacity and then "listen" to annotations along with the file to check they are placed right. I haven't found an Audacity plugin that does it, but when I export Audacity labels I get a file like:
3.558390
4.248639
4.910771
5.632766
6.349320
...
This time of file (in seconds) where point labels were placed. Maybe there's a tool (or maybe you can do it programmatically (in C++ on Linux preferably)) to easily generate such a click track? I would be then able to mix it with original file and listen to inspect it.
I've found two ways to solve this issue:
Write your own plugin in Nyquist (what I'm trying to do), I received great help on the Audacity forum:
http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=68752
Use Sonic Visualiser:
http://www.sonicvisualiser.org/
This program combines two important features: insertion of annotations when audio is played and auralisation (different sounds available).

id3 tags editing with vim

Is there any way I can use gvim or vim to edit id3 tags on already ripped .flac files? Also, maybe somebody know a way to integrate gvim tag editing with rubyripper? Also, I'd like edit id3 tags on flac and mp3 files.
A command line tool which could be somehow integrated with vim would also do the job.
Thanks in advance,
Ignas
Vim is probably not the tool you should be using this for. A dedicated command-line utility is a much better option.
Some options:
id3v2
mp3info
id3ed
I wrote a tool for that called taggie. From the rationale section:
From time to time I download a release from Bandcamp where the tags are messed up, especially when we're talking about compilation albums from various artists. MusicBrainz Picard doesn't help there if the release is fresh.
It's easy enough to modify the album or album artist tags in iTunes because it's setting one value for all tracks. However, sometimes there's more you need to change: the "title" tag is in the format "[title] - [artist]" or each title contains some junk that you want to remove.

make swf from fla without ever opening it

is it possible to change text and images in a fla file without ever opening it up and then making the swf via command line? I want to make a flash template and save the fla. Then be able to update my text and image name and convert it to swf. I have one template but tons of different text options and background images. It would be nice to be able to copy the master.fla twenty times and just change the source code (will do this from command line) and then convert to swf (via command line).
Any help would be appreciated.
With CS5, you can do half of what you're asking today, by using the XFL file format instead of FLA. Instead of a binary blob, you get an editable XML file and a tree of separate asset files: PNGs, AS3 files, etc. You can then modify the XML or AS3 files programmatically to get your variants.
(A CS5 FLA file is really just a zipped up version of the XFL, but there's no advantage to using that instead of an XFL. In CS4 and previous, FLA was a proprietary binary format.)
The missing piece is an XFL compiler. Adobe currently provides no such thing, and the third party market hasn't yet produced one.
You could use a systems automation tool to drive the Flash Professional environment through the compilation steps. On OS X, for example, either Automator or AppleScript should be able to do what you want. It'll just have more overhead than the command line compiler you were hoping for.
I agree with Jason, there are a lot of alternatives to what you suggest. Keeping content out of the SWF is good practice actually. This is a good way to avoid large files!
Depending on what you 're looking to achieve, there are a lot of solutions available. XML is an option, JSON another.
If you're looking to build a template, any of the above would seem appropriate.
It sounds like you're working from the Flash IDE, as Jason suggests you may want to have a look at another IDE, such as FlashDevelop, FDT or FlashBuilder as they make coding with AS3 a lot easier.
