This month in digital music libraries - July 2021
August 04, 2021 in digital music by Dan Gravell
A bit late this month!
July might be the time we all head off on our holidays, but it doesn’t mean time stands still in digital music collecting, self-storage and self-hosting. In this edition: DSM gets an update on Synology devices, I bemoan the lack of simple online audio splitting tools, and Audiophile Style complete their first podcast season.

Since its release, we’ve updated bliss to make sure it runs on the new OS and we’ve also introduce a new Synology package repository. Check it out with our Synology installation instructions.
Splitting audio files
Turns out that there are few obvious ways of splitting audio files with purely-online tools. Along the way I learnt a bit about how CUE sheets are not very well documented.
Back when I ran the ML project to split media files ( https://t.co/STRFiEkF5y ), I learnt a few truths about audio splitting (definition: splitting one audio file into multiple audio files). (Thread 1/6) (Photo: Jason Abdilla) pic.twitter.com/dvyKDPiwSr
