NAME

       tracksplit - split audio track

SYNOPSIS

       tracksplit [OPTIONS] <track 1>

DESCRIPTION

       tracksplit splits an audio track into several smaller tracks.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              show a list of options and exit

       -I, --interactive
              edit metadata in interactive mode prior to splitting file

       --cue=FILENAME
              the cuesheet to use for splitting track

       -V, --verbose=VERBOSITY
              The level of output to display. Choose between 'normal', 'quiet' and 'debug'.

ENCODING OPTIONS

       -t, --type=TYPE
              The  audio  format  to  convert  the split tracks to. For a list of available audio
              formats, try: -t help.

       -q, --quality=QUALITY
              The desired quality of the split tracks. For a list of available quality modes  for
              a given format, try: -q help

       -d, --dir=DIRECTORY
              The  target  directory  for the split tracks. If none is given, the current working
              directory is used. If the target directory does  not  exist,  it  will  be  created
              automatically.

       --format=STRING
              The  format  string  to  use  for  new filenames. Template fields are replaced with
              metadata values when new tracks are created. All other text is left as-is. If  this
              option is omitted, a default format string is used.

       -j, --joint=PROCESSES
              The  maximum  number  of tracks to convert at one time. If one has multiple CPUs or
              CPU cores, allowing tracksplit(1) to use all of  them  simultaneously  can  greatly
              increase encoding speed.

CD LOOKUP OPTIONS

       --musicbrainz-server=HOSTNAME
              the MusicBrainz server name to query for metadata

       --musicbrainz-port=PORT
              the MusicBrainz port to query for metadata

       --no-musicbrainz
              don't query MusicBrainz for metadata

       --freedb-server=HOSTNAME
              the FreeDB server name to query for metadata

       --freedb-port=PORT
              the FreeDB port to query for metadata

       --no-freedb
              don't query FreeDB for metadata

       -D, --default
              When  multiple  metadata choices are available, select the first one automatically.
              This option has no effect when used with -I

METADATA OPTIONS

       --album-number=NUMBER
              the album number of the tracks' CD, if they are in one in a series of albums

       --album-total=NUMBER
              the total number of albums in the tracks' CD set, if it  is  one  in  a  series  of
              albums

       --replay-gain
              add ReplayGain metadata to newly created tracks

       --no-replay-gain
              do not add ReplayGain metadata to newly created tracks

EXAMPLES

       Split CDImage.wav into several MP3 files using the cuesheet CDImage.cue:

              tracksplit -t mp3 --cue=CDImage.cue CDImage.wav

       Obtain CDImage.cue using the cdrdao(1) utilities:

              cdrdao read-toc --device /dev/cdrom CDImage.toc

              toc2cue CDImage.toc CDImage.cue
