sndls

sndls is a free open-source audio-friendly ls-like command line tool with a little something extra.

Besides inspecting relevant statistics of your audio data, with sndls you can:

  • Save search results to a .csv file for later analysis.
  • Detect clipped, silent, or anomalous files that may impact machine learning pipelines.
  • Compute and verify SHA-256 hashes to detect file modifications or corruption.
  • Filter files using python expressions to identify those matching specific criteria.
  • Perform fast, metadata-based file inspection.
  • Execute post-processing actions, such as removing clipped files, copying files that meet certain conditions, and more.

sndls currently supports the following extensions: .aif.aiff.mp3.flac.ogg.wav.wave.
