Audio Merger

A simple yet powerful desktop application for merging audio files, with advanced features like silence removal and AI-powered log standardization. Built with Python, PyQt5, and Pydub.

Features

• Merge Audio Files: Combine multiple MP3 and WAV audio files into a single output file.
• Intuitive File Management:
  • Drag-and-drop support for easily adding files.
  • Reorder tracks by dragging them within the list.
  • Shuffle tracks randomly.
  • Pin specific tracks to keep them in their position during shuffling.
• Configurable Silence Removal: Automatically detect and remove silent segments from audio tracks during the merging process, with adjustable silence threshold and chunk size.
• AI-Powered Log Standardization:
  • Utilize the Google Gemini API to standardize and clean up track lists or log files.
  • Supports custom keywords for removal and an advanced mode for custom AI prompts.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+
• pip (Python package installer)
• venv (Python virtual environment module)

Steps

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/realldz/Audio-Merger.git
   cd Audio-Merger

2. Create and activate a virtual environment:

   python -m venv .venv
   # On Windows:
   .venv\Scripts\activate
   # On macOS/Linux:
   source .venv/bin/activate

3. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

1. Run the application:

   python main.py

2. Add Audio Files: Drag and drop MP3/WAV files onto the application window, or use the "Add Files" button.
3. Manage Tracks: Reorder, remove, shuffle, or pin tracks as needed.
4. Configure Output: Specify the output folder and desired output file name.
5. Silence Removal: Adjust "Silence Threshold" and "Chunk Size" in the settings section if you want to remove silence.
6. AI Standardization (Optional):
   • Enter your Google Gemini API Key in the "AI Standardization Settings" section.
   • Select a Gemini model or refresh the list.
   • Provide a log file name (from the "Output" section).
   • Use "Custom keywords to remove" for simple cleaning or enable "Advanced prompt editing mode" for a custom AI prompt.
   • Click "Standardize Log with AI 💎" to process the log file. The standardized log will open automatically.
7. Merge Audio: Click the "Merge Audio" button to start the merging process.

Logging Configuration

Logging settings are managed via the settings.json file in the application's root directory. If the file doesn't exist, default settings will be used.

Example settings.json for logging to a file:

{
    "log": {
        "level": "INFO",
        "handler": "file",
        "file_name": "audio_merger.log",
        "format": "%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s"
    }
}

Example settings.json for logging to console (stdout):

{
    "log": {
        "level": "DEBUG",
        "handler": "stdout",
        "format": "%(asctime)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s"
    }
}

Set "level": "NONE" to disable logging.

Building Executable (Windows)

You can create a standalone executable using PyInstaller.

1. Install PyInstaller:

   pip install pyinstaller

2. Build the executable:

   pyinstaller --noconfirm --onefile --windowed --name "AudioMerger" main.py

   • --noconfirm: Overwrite existing dist and build folders without asking.
   • --onefile: Create a single executable file.
   • --windowed: Create a windowed application (no console window).
   • --name "AudioMerger": Name the executable AudioMerger.exe.
3. Find the executable: The executable will be located in the dist/ folder.
