I am trying to create a silent / empty mp3 file of (x) seconds using the command line. Quite a simple task I thought!
It seems LAME is able to do something like this, but I am unable to find anything that leads to achieving this.
Has anyone been able to do something like this?
You can use this command.
ffmpeg -f lavfi -i anullsrc=r=44100:cl=mono -t <seconds> -q:a 9 -acodec libmp3lame out.mp3
Change <seconds>
to a number indicating the number of seconds of silence you require (for example, 60
will create a minute).
