RedHat Generate 10000 unique audio file of 2MB each using shell script.
Hi,

I want 10000+ unique Audio file of approx 2MB each. How can i generate numerous audio files using shell script. Any tool, command or suggestions are welcome.

If i give one audio seed file then can we create numerous unique files with same seed file?

Any help is highly appreciable. Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Sushil Kumar

Eh?

!0000 audio files?

In what format, RAW, WAVE, etc?
Pure waveforms, various noises for bandpass tests, voice, music, etc?
What audio bandwidth, (in other words what sampling rates)?
Stereo, mono, multichannel, etc?
Digitally and/or analogue compressed or not?
Which interpolation, assuming that computer sound systems can have interpolation switched from the command line?
Two tone test frequencies with known fixed output levels?

I could go on but these are enough for you to go and do some research...

Thanks for reply,
I do not bother about audio quality of these files as it is not in scope.

* Any audio file format either raw, wav, AIFF, MP3 etc. is fine.
* Any type of audio either voice, music, noise or bandpass tests.
* Sampling rates should be between 44.1kHz or 48kHz.
* It can be anything among Stereo, mono, multichannel, etc?
* Anything either digitally and/or analogue compressed or not?

I need to use these file to testing software with unique file every time at unix command line so do not bother to listen any file. My requirement is to have almost same size audio file(10% +- is file size).

Regards,
Sushil Kumar

Thanks for your prompt reply,

I have created 4 sample ".raw" file with n={1,2,3,4} at my unix box and copy it using winscp to windows machine. i tried to listen the ".raw" file but it is not audible. I used vlc media player to listen the ".raw" file.

suk@pabet-xmdevc105:~/audio$ ls -ltr
total 8192
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2097152 Sep 28 09:51 audio1.raw
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2097152 Sep 28 09:51 audio2.raw
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2097152 Sep 28 09:51 audio3.raw
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2097152 Sep 28 09:51 audio4.raw

Is their anything i have to do to make it audible. I just want to make sure the file is "audio" file.

With Thanks & Regards,
Sushil Kumar

Do you have e.g. aplay on your *nix machine? What happens if you aplay audio1.raw?

Hi RudiC,
I only use terminal@Ubuntu Linux Virtual Machine. I tried to run at the terminal and it showed "Playing raw data 'audio1.raw' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono" as output.

suk@pabet-xmdevc105:~/audio$ aplay audio1.raw
Playing raw data 'audio1.raw' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono

Can i winscp and hear these audio files with any other audio player at windows machine if not "VLC Media player"

Regards,
Sushil kumar
