This can take up quite a bit of space when you run it.

I fed it 20,727 live photos which produced a 3.7GB /tmp/picblast folder, then concatenated into a 3.7GB picblast.wav file - 12 hours, 36 minutes and 38 seconds of audio!

I converted that to a 346MB .mp3 file with:

ffmpeg -i picblast.wav picblast.mp3

Then deleted picblast.wav
