Record SID as MP3 by Command Line
You can record SID as MP3 by command line using the following minimum options:
java -jar jsidplay2-console-4.7.jar (1)
--audio LIVE_MP3 (2)
-
Launch command-line version
-
Record audio output as MP3 (and listen live on Soundcard)
Example:
Turrican_2-The_Final_Fight.sid --startSong 4 --single true --audio LIVE_MP3
In this example we record the tune Turrican_2-The_Final_Fight.sid starting with song 4. Since the SID file contains multiple songs and we want to record only song 4, we use the option named single.
The result is a file called Turrican-04.mp3, this is because the sub-song 4 will be part of the filename.
Tip
|
If you prefer not to listen the tune while recording, simply use option: |
--audio MP3 (1)
-
Record as MP3 but we don’t want to listen using our soundcard meanwhile. Beside that record time is much faster.
Tip
|
If you prefer to record only certain voices of a tune you are able to mute voices this way: |
--muteVoice1 true(1)
-
Mute voice 1 (of the main SID). See usage to mute other voices as well.
Tip
|
If you want only to record a specific time range of the SID: |
--startTime 01:26 --defaultLength 01:30 (1)
-
Start song at 1 minute and 26 seconds and record for one and a half minute.
Tip
|
You can change the quality settings of MP3 recordings this way: |
--cbr 160 (1)
--vbr true --vbrQuality 0 (2)
-
Bitrate in kbps (-1=auto, 32 40 48 56 64 80 96 112 128 160 192 224 256 320)
-
or alternatively use variable bitrate and highest quality (0=best, 5=medium, 9=worst)
