I love Streamripper but had lots of problems with junk audio and/or harsh ends to the recordings it makes. They can be fixed with audacity/etc., but that's too much work. :-)
So, I've written sonfilade, a simple, interactive command-line script that allows rapid, three-key editing of the beginning and ending of audio files. It uses sox to play and edit files behind the scenes, and works on Ubuntu Linux and probably other sufficiently Unix-like platforms.
Nice quality edits are easy to make, and only take one or two minutes per file.
Originally I had imagined a number of DSP-based heuristics for guessing the start and end points, but I find this trivial program so entertaining to use that I probably won't bother. (Patches welcome, though.)

Very cool! I added a link to the home page. Please keep us updated with new features, etc.
Version 0.0? Sounds like no code was written yet. ;)
Thanks for the link!
