============
Extract audio files that are embedded within other files.
2012-12-28 17:23:27 +00:00
Setup
-----
make
make install PREFIX=/usr
2013-01-03 06:18:44 +00:00
Cross compile for Windows:
2013-01-03 06:24:12 +00:00
make TARGET=win32
2013-01-03 06:18:44 +00:00
Or:
2013-01-03 06:24:12 +00:00
make TARGET=win64
2013-01-03 06:18:44 +00:00
2013-01-03 19:21:13 +00:00
Note that 32bit binaries can only read files up to about 2 GB because of the
limitations of the 32bit address space. 64bit binaries can read up to about
8 EB (8 Exabyte).

Usage
-----
audioextract [option...] <filename> [<filename> ...]
2012-12-28 01:00:35 +00:00

### Examples
2012-12-28 03:56:02 +00:00
Extract .wav, .aif and .ogg (might actually be .flac, .opus or .ogm) files from
the file `data.bin` and store them in the `~/Music` directory.
2012-12-28 03:47:37 +00:00
audioextract -f wave,ogg -o ~/Music data.bin
2012-12-31 20:02:57 +00:00
This will then write files like such into `~/Music`:
data.bin_00000000.ogg
data.bin_00FFB2E3.wav
data.bin_01F3CD45.aif
The hexadecimal number in the written file names give the offset where in the
data file the audio file was found.

Extract .mp3, .mp2 and .mp1 files (with or without ID3v2 tags). The `mpg123`
option yields a lot of false positives because there is no nice way to
unambigiously detect MPEG files. These false positives are however usually very
small, so using the `--min-size` one can hopefully extract only real MPEG files.
2012-12-28 03:56:02 +00:00
2012-12-29 16:50:22 +00:00
audioextract -f id3v2,mpg123 --min-size 100k -o ~/Music data.bin
2012-12-28 03:56:02 +00:00

WARNING: Because MP1/2/3 files do not have a nice file magic, using
the 'mpg123' format may cause *a lot* of false positives. Nowadays
2012-12-28 01:00:35 +00:00
MP3 files usually have an ID3v2 tag at the start, so using the
'id3v2' format is the better option anyway.
2012-12-29 06:53:46 +00:00
The detection accuracy of MOD files is not much better and thus
they are also per default disabled.
2012-12-29 06:53:46 +00:00
2012-12-29 16:50:22 +00:00
NOTE: When using only the 'mpg123' format but not 'id3v2' any ID3v2
2012-12-28 01:00:35 +00:00
tag will be stripped. ID3v1 tags will still be kept.
If '-' is written before a format name the format will be
removed from the set of formats to extract. E.g. extract
everything except tracker files:
2012-12-28 01:00:35 +00:00
audioextract --formats=all,-tracker data.bin
2012-12-28 01:00:35 +00:00
-o, --output=DIR Directory where extracted files should be written. (default: ".")
2012-12-28 04:46:44 +00:00
-m, --min-size=SIZE Minumum size of extracted files (skip smaller). (default: 0)
-x, --max-size=SIZE Maximum size of extracted files (skip larger).
(default: max. possible size_t value)
The last character of SIZE may be one of the following:
B (or none) for bytes
k for Kilobytes (units of 1024 bytes)
M for Megabytes (units of 1024 Kilobytes)
G for Gigabytes (units of 1024 Megabytes)
T for Terabytes (units of 1024 Gigabytes)
