lcsb

Longest Common Sound Block

Find longest common sound block between multiple wav files.

It can be used to find the duration and start point of opening in a drama series soundtracks.

Finding OP in 9 episodes of an anime series takes 5 seconds on my M1 MBP. Each episode is around 22 minutes long in 16bit mono 48000 Hz wav format.
