I use the built into ubuntu CD/DVD Creator and choose to burn the song.m4p file to an image file on hard disk.

Burn the m4p music file to an ISO on disk.

Any other suggestions or did I goof on your direction? Sure appreciate your time. This is what I tried speechless, but no go. This is the same as wasting a CD to burn on each time, but without the waste. Now mount the iso, and rip it to flac/mp3/ogg/etc. This will create a 'redbook audio cd' in iso form. When working on experimental things, you might find yourself in a situation where you are faced with raw audio or video and need to modify it.I meant, burn the music to cd, use a virtual image writer. Working with these media formats requires a few extra steps if you do not have suitable 3rd party software pre-installed, or perhaps you just prefer a command line approach for these operations? Either way, Python is a great tool for this job and next I will show you how. In my own situation, I wanted to experiment with some speech-to-text services, to test them for quality. I wanted to test specific audio files from youtube, then upload them to the speech-to-text app for transcription. To accomplish this, I used pytube to download the audio file, then ffmpeg library to converted the file to appropriate format, and finally ffmpeg to cut the audio file length - all using a command line! These are the commands I will discuss today.

Pip install pytube imageio imageio-ffmpeg PrerequisitesĮxecute this command to ensure you have all necessary modules installed. If you already have an audio file you want to work with, feel free to skip this first step. Otherwise, you can obtaining your audio sample from Youtube using pytube library.
