How can I create a waveform image of an MP3 in Linux?

Question

Given an MP3 I would like to extract the waveform from the file into an image (.png)

Is there a package that can do what I need ?

Answer 1

If you have a GUI environment you can use the audacity audio editor to load the mp3 and then use the print command to generate a pdf of the waveform. Then convert the pdf to png.
