I work in audio and I need a number of files transcribed by a third party. To do so I have to swap out an entire directory of .wav files with .mp3s I have compressed while still maintaining the file directory. It's about 20,000 files.
eg
wav:
Folder1
Folder 1a
sound1.wav
sound2.wav
Folder 1b
sound3.wav
sound4.wav
Folder2
Folder 2a
Folder 2aa
sound5.wav
sound6.wav
Folder 2ab
sound7.wav
Folder2b
sound8.wav
etc.
mp3:
Folder1
sound1.mp3
sound2.mp3
sound3.mp3
sound4.mp3
sound5.mp3
sound6.mp3
sound7.mp3
sound8.mp3
etc.
I had to group them together to do the batch compression in Adobe Audition, but now I would like to be able to switch them out with the wav files that are perfectly identical save for file extension as doing this manually is not a reasonable option.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a little experience with python so that language is preferable, but I'm open to any solutions.
You can use a combination of glob
and shutil
to do this. Try running this script from inside Folder1
.
from glob import glob
from shutil import move
import os
wav_files = glob('**/*.wav', recursive=True)
for wf in wav_files:
file_path = os.path.splitext(wf)[0]
file_head = os.path.split(file_path)[-1]
try:
move('./{}.mp3'.format(file_head),
'{}.mp3'.format(file_path))
except:
print('Could not find or move file {}.mp3, it may not exist.'.format(file_head))
What I understand is that you want the same directory structure for mp3 as for vaw.
You can:
browse the directory structure of vaw file and construct a mapping between base names (file names without extension) and relative path.
browse the directory structure, searching the mp3 files and find each relative path in the mapping, creating the target directory structure if missing and move the file in.
For instance:
import os
vaw_dir = 'path/to/MyVaw' # parent of Folder1...
musics = {}
for root, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(vaw_dir):
for filename in filenames:
basename, ext = os.path.splitext(filename)
if ext.lower() == '.wav':
relpath = os.path.relpath(root, vaw_dir)
print('indexing "{0}" to "{1}"...'.format(filename, relpath))
musics[basename] = relpath
else:
print('skiping "{0}"...'.format(filename))
mp3_dir = 'path/to/MyMp3'
out_dir = vaw_dir # or somewhere else
for root, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(vaw_dir):
for filename in filenames:
basename, ext = os.path.splitext(filename)
if ext.lower() == '.mp3' and basename in musics:
relpath = musics[basename]
path = os.path.join(out_dir, relpath)
if not os.path.exists(path):
print('creating directory "{0}"...'.format(path))
os.makedirs(path)
src_path = os.path.join(root, filename)
dst_path = os.path.join(path, filename)
if src_path != dst_path:
print('moving "{0}" to "{1}"...'.format(filename, relpath))
os.rename(src_path, dst_path)
else:
print('skiping "{0}"...'.format(filename))
print("Done.")
