## NAME

scramble_times.pl - Randomize mp3 file start/stop times

## SYNOPSIS

scramble_times.pl inputfile.mp3 [ scramble_file ]

## DESCRIPTION

scramble_times.pl is a Perl script that generates a list of start/stop times for each frame in inputfile.mp3 printed in pseudo-random order. This script is called from scramble.pl. The output from scramble_times.pl is printed to standard output, or written to the output file scramble_file when specified.

scramble_times.pl works by calling mpgedit -vv inputfile.mp3 to first obtain a list of all frame end times for inputfile.mp3. From this output, a list of frame start/stop times is created. Afterwards, this list is shuffled in pseudo-random order, then printed to standard output, or written to scramble_file when specified.

## BUGS

scramble_times.pl serves no useful purpose outside of the context of the test script scramble.pl.
