SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Analyzing audio content visually requires specialized tooling; this Skill turns audio files into spectrograms and multi-panel feature visualizations (mel, chroma, MFCC, and more) with a single CLI command, making audio structure, pitch, tempo, and loudness inspectable as images. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Spectrogram Generation: Render standard or mel-scaled spectrograms from WAV and MP3 files, with optional ffmpeg support for other formats. - Multi-Panel Feature Grids: Combine up to nine visualization types (chroma, HPSS, self-similarity, loudness, tempogram, MFCC, flux) into a single image. - Flexible Output Control: Adjust color palettes, image dimensions, FFT window/hop size, frequency ranges, and time slices, outputting PNG or JPG. - Use Case: Compare two synthesized audio outputs by generating side-by-side mel spectrograms, then inspect the images with a vision model to verify the synthesis pipeline. ## Quick Start Generate a mel spectrogram from my track.mp3 file and save it as a PNG image.

Frequently Asked Questions about songsee

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a spectrogram from an MP3 file?▼

Run songsee with the audio file as argument, for example songsee track.mp3, optionally adding -o output.png to choose the output path. WAV and MP3 are decoded natively without extra tools.

What audio visualization types does songsee support?▼

Songsee supports nine types: spectrogram, mel, chroma, hpss, selfsim, loudness, tempogram, mfcc, and flux. Pass them comma-separated via --viz to render multiple panels as a grid in one image.

Does songsee support audio formats other than WAV and MP3?▼

WAV and MP3 are decoded natively. For other formats you need ffmpeg installed, which songsee uses to decode additional audio codecs.

How do I visualize only a section of an audio file?▼

Use the --start and --duration flags to select a time slice, for example --start 12.5 --duration 8 renders only the segment from 12.5 seconds onward for 8 seconds.

Can songsee read audio from stdin?▼

Yes, pipe audio into songsee using a dash as the input, such as cat track.mp3 | songsee - --format png -o out.png. This is useful for chained audio processing pipelines.
