This Python script will take a DAISY talking book, scan its metadata, and then extract all of the audio content into a friendlier structure.
- By default the book will be placed in the directory
<output>\<author>\<title>(where<output>is the output path specified on the command line) - The MP3 files will be numbered and renamed to reflect their true contents
- A playlist will be created to play the entire book
Note: This script has only been tested with books which follow the DAISY 2.02 standard, designated as "Full audio with NCC only".
When I get around to it, I'll package the script so it will be installable with pip and runnable from anywhere. But for now, to get set up:
Install Python and pip. I've only tested it with Python 3.4 so far.
In a directory of your choice, run:
git clone https://github.com/jscholes/daisy-extract
cd daisy-extract
pip install -r requirements.txt
Alternatively you can download the contents of the repository as a ZIP file, extract it somewhere, and execute the two last commands above without cloning from Git.
Run the script by typing:
python extract.py
which will show you the possible command line options.
