Anyway since waking up I have successfully written a Rust program that parses an mp3 and prints to the terminal the waveform (or rather signal power over time of the whole file) as ASCII art. It works great. There is only one problem: This is not something I need
Anyway if you're the person who has a use for a command line program that ASCII art prints the waveform of an mp3, here it is. I guess it could be useful for verifying an mp3 contains what you expect or roughly identifying an mp3's contents without opening another program..
@mdsherry Ahhh… you beat me to it! I actually made a go at it this afternoon but I screwed something up bad in the math (it's subpixel on the H axis but on the V axis it's integers but for some reason on half-pixel boundaries only, and the scaling is overall wrong)
I will look at the PR later, this actually was just a test while trying to do something entirely unrelated
@hendric That's not so hard. I guess you could also do some frequency stuff so that it classifies load by process and plays a low pitch sound for system processes and a high pitched sound for userland.
