This script splits audio files into 5120 ms (5.12 seconds) chunks. It supports both mp3 and wav file formats.
python audio_splitter.py -i <input_directory> -o <output_directory>
-i <input_directory>: Path to the directory containing the audio files to be split.-o <output_directory>: Path to the directory where the split audio chunks will be saved.
Make sure to provide both the input and output directories when running the script.
- Python 3.x
- Required Python packages can be installed using the following command:
pip install pydub
- The script takes an input directory containing audio files and an output directory for the split chunks as command-line arguments.
- It checks if both input and output directories are provided. If not, it displays an error message and the script's usage instructions.
- The script iterates over all files in the input directory.
- For each file, it checks if it is an mp3 or wav file. If it's neither, it prints a message and ignores the file.
- If the file is an mp3, it converts it to wav format using the
pydublibrary. - If the file is already in wav format, it loads the wav file.
- The audio is then split into 5120 ms (5.12 seconds) chunks.
- Each chunk with a duration of at least 1 second (1000 milliseconds) is saved as a separate audio file in the output directory.
- The script prints the filename and path of each saved chunk.
- If a chunk is less than 1 second in duration, it is skipped and a message is printed.
- Once all the files in the input directory are processed, the script finishes execution.
Note: The script creates the output directory if it doesn't already exist.
