Loop audio file from the command line (gapless) or into new file
The only command line solution for gapless playback I found so far (working with ALSA and JACK) is moc (»music on console«). While I'm still searching for a simpler way I was wondering if it is possible to loop an audio file into a new file for a given number of times?
Something like:
loop-audio infile.flac --loop 32 outfile.flac
for repeating infile.flac 32 times into outfile.flac
linux audio alsa jack moc

Sometimes it is just good to know that linux-life can be as easy as imagined, in this case by using SoX (Sound eXchange):
sox infile.flac outfile.flac repeat 32
this even works with different file formats like:
sox infile.flac outfile.mp3 repeat 32
would loop into a 128 kbps MP3
other bit rates can be set using the option:
-C|--compression FACTOR Compression factor for output format
getting an 320 kbps MP3 would be obtained with this command:
sox infile.flac -C 320 outfile.mp3 repeat 32
