auplabels – extract times of tracks in an Audacity file for adding labels (download).
Audacity 1.3’s method of track splitting has always seemed a pain, so I wrote the above to help me.
Running auplabels file.aup
will generate a somewhat sparse file of track offsets:
0.00000000
191.57333333
376.08000000
550.76000000
…
You’ll want to edit this to add track names (there should be a tab between the first column and the title):
0.00000000Â Â Â Â Â Battle of the Blues
191.57333333Â Â Â I Quit My Job
376.08000000Â Â Â Ain't Goin' My Way
550.76000000Â Â Â Wake Up Hill
…
If you use File -> Import… -> Labels… to import this into your project, the label track should exactly align with your track splits.
(Of course, this should really be an XML application since Audacity AUP files are XML, but issues were had.)
