Usage 📝

Optimize WAV file

soundless.py -i "Sample.wav"

As above, but from URL, peak-normalize file to -3 decibells (-n) and change sample-rate to 32 000 hertz. (-sr)

soundless.py -i http://example.org/File.wav -n 3 -sr 32k

Optimize WAV files in a directory, set the bit depth to 24 (-b) and extract left channel to mono. (-c)

soundless.py -i "~/Music" -b 24 -c left

As above, but process all files in subdirectories (-R) and suppress all console output (-q).

soundless.py -i "%UserProfile%/Desktop/WAV" -R -q
