wmaSnip
is an audio file editor for Windows XP with Windows Media Player, designed to allow the easy identification and extraction
of sections of audio, referred to in
wmaSnip as
segments.
A segment may be as small as a single note in a song, or as large as a complete track in, for example, a concert
or a vinyl LP recording. Editing is non-destructive, i.e. the audio content of the original file is not affected,
any extracted segments being written to new files. Segments can be defined manually (by moving start and end markers
in a graphical representation of the source audio). For large files, containing multiple tracks,
wmaSnip
can automatically define segments using silence detection;
wmaSnip also connects to
the online music metadata service at
MusicBrainz.org,
and can use its data to locate tracks within long recordings and define these as segments.
Features:
Supports Windows Media Audio (WMA), MPEG Audio (MP3) and Wave Audio (WAV) input files.
Handles DRM-protected WMA files (with appropriate content licences).
Media files accessible via Windows Media Player library.
Easy manual location and definition of audio segments.
Automatic location and definition of
segments in large files using silence detection
and/or metadata from online DB at
MusicBrainz.
Apply fade-in and/or fade-out to smooth abrupt segments boundaries.
Insert silence at beginning and/or end of segments recordings.
Save audio content of segments as WMA, MP3 or WAV file.
Easily create audio "thumbnails". Audio can be downsampled while recording.
System requirements:
Windows XP SP2
Windows Media Player (version 9 or later). Note: wmaSnip
doesn't require WMP to be running, or even to be assigned as the default media player; it only
requires that WMP is installed on the user's computer. Windows Media Player is available as a free
download from Microsoft here:
