zxtap2wav -i RENEGADE.tap
zxtap2wav -a -i RENEGADE.tap -o RENEGADE.wav -f 44100 -s

How to?

Make longer silence interval between files in WAV

Just add -g 2 or -g 3 to make delay in 2 or 3 seconds.

Add silence in start of generated WAV file

Use -s and silence will be generated in start of WAV file.

I want 44100 Hz quantized WAV

Use parameter -f 44100

Sound is too silent

Use flag -a and generated sound in WAV will be amplified to maximum.
