tracktrim 0.1.2

Trim leading and trailing silence from MP3 songs.

TrackTrim

TrackTrim is a Python library and CLI for trimming leading and trailing silence from MP3 songs.

It detects the first and last non-silent regions of a track, trims the file, writes MP3 output, and preserves common ID3 metadata.

Features

• Detect leading and trailing silence
• MP3 input to MP3 output
• Preserve common metadata and cover art
• Stable bitrate policy for predictable output size
• Public Python API and command-line interface

Installation

PyPI

pip install tracktrim

GitHub

pip install git+https://github.com/DrSopes/TrackTrim.git

Python API

from tracktrim import inspect_mp3, detect_content_bounds, trim_song

info = inspect_mp3("song.mp3")
print(info)

bounds = detect_content_bounds("song.mp3", top_db=35)
print(bounds)

result = trim_song("song.mp3", "song_trimmed.mp3", top_db=35)
print(result)

CLI

tracktrim input.mp3 output.mp3 --top-db 35

tracktrim input.mp3 output.mp3 --bitrate 320

Bitrate policy

TrackTrim uses a stable default policy:

• source bitrate <= 192 kbps -> output 192 kbps
• source bitrate 193 to 288 kbps -> output 256 kbps
• source bitrate > 288 kbps -> output 320 kbps
