Unfortunately, this didn't work for me. Soundmerge simply says "There

the other is not.
Which version of sox are you using? Note you need a version before
13.0.0. The script also assumes ~/.cutmp3rc has "leng=10000" to set
minimum silence to ten seconds.
I get this result:
$ soundmerge *

Searching for dropped audio on Monday June 11, 2007 at 08:24:45 PM --

soundtest2.mp3
There is no dropped sound
soundtest.mp3
Found dropped audio in this interval:
23:59:55 - 00:00:29 (34 seconds)
It looks like there's no need to merge audio from these files!
Since one file is good, soundmerge concludes there's no need to merge,
but it does find the silence in one of them. The odd timestamp 23:59:55
happens because soundmerge gives a code five seconds before the drop.
