[ardour-users] batch .wav processing?

[Jeremy M Booth]

Hi.  I have several hours of demos recorded on a tape recorder that I
would like to transfer to CD.  They are mostly short passages that begin
and end with a silence as well as a click from the tape transport.  What
I am looking for is a way to record each tape in full to a wave file and
then somehow extract each passage into it's own file automatically so
each one will be a separate track on the CDs for easy searching.  Any
insight on how to do this with ardour or any linux software would be
appreciated, as to avoid going through hours of recordings manually. 
Thanks in advance.
