I am working with a band right now and they want samples of all their songs made so that they can post music on their site without giving everything away. The samples should be about 20 seconds long and mp3 files. There are quite a few files that need to be sampled so I am looking for a fast and automated way to create files that are only 20 seconds long. Is there any ruby library that might be applicable to this challenge?
Thank you,
Matthew Margolis
I think there's a ruby-soundfile, but honestly, if you're on unix, I'd
be shelling out to sox. I might use Ruby (or Rake!) to automate it, but
I'd let `sox` do the dirty work.

Try this for some examples of using sox:

Thanks unfortunately I am stuck on a windows box for the few weeks as my linux box is halfway across the country and shut off. I guess I can just look into using some sort of cheap commercial sound software.
If anyone else knows of a solution I would love to know.
