Consider It A Track When
The following parameters will help determine if audio is silence, garbage or a track.

If the volume is greater than X %, we consider it signal/music and not record or tape noise.
Since recordings are not perfectly silent, this is a threshold that can be used to help separate
noise from music. (The default is 10%)
It is longer than X minute(s)
If the software detects music signal and not noise (see above) for X minutes, it will consider it a
track. This helps eliminate false tracks such as record scratches, tape clicks and so on. (The
default is 1/2 minute or 0.50 minutes.)
It is separated by at least X seconds of 'silence'
