Audioextract
============
Extract audio files that are embedded within other files.
Usage
-----
audioextract [options] <filename> [<filename> ...]
### Options
-h, --help Print this help message.
-f, --formats=FORMATS Comma separated list of formats (file magics) to extract.
Supported formats:
all all supported formats
default the default set of formats (AIFF, ID3v2, Ogg, RIFF)
aiff big-endian (Apple) wave files
id3v2 MPEG files with ID3v2 tags at the start
mpeg any MPEG files (e.g. MP3)
ogg Ogg files (Vorbis, FLAC, Opus, Theora, etc.)
riff little-endian (Windows) wave files
wav alias for riff
wave both RIFF and AIFF wave files
WARNING: Because MPEG files do not have a nice file magic, using
the 'mpeg' format may cause *a lot* of false positives. Nowadays
MP3 files usually have an ID3v2 tag at the start, so using the
'id3v2' format is the better option anyway.
NOTE: When using only the 'mpeg' format but not 'id3v2' any ID3v2
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 wave files:
audioextract --formats=all,-wave data.bin
-o, --output=DIR Directory where extracted files should be written. (default: ".")
-q, --quiet Do not print status messages.
