I ask for advice from the learned folk of FFmpeg. The following script works. The mp4 plays -- even
PowerDVD plays it. Song selection is available via chapters. However, I wonder about the wisdom of
my approach and whether there's a better, more comprehensive method.
ffmpeg^
-i "c:\Ashra, Correlations [1979] chapters.txt"^
-i c:\01.WAV^
-i c:\02.WAV^
-i c:\03.WAV^
-i c:\04.WAV^
-i c:\05.WAV^
-i c:\06.WAV^
-i c:\07.WAV^
-filter_complex "[1:0][2:0][3:0][4:0][5:0][6:0][7:0]concat=n=7:v=0:a=1[out]"^
-map_metadata 0 -map "[out]"^
-c libmp3lame -compression_level 0^
"c:\Ashra, Correlations [1979].mp4"
Issue #1: I doubt my car's stereo will play mp4s.
Issue #2: I'm aware of *.m3u playlists however many players insert brief silence between songs.
That's a non-starter for much of my music.
Suggestions will be gratefully accepted.
