Is there a program for Mac OS X that can do this? I have yet to find one, so I use Silence Remover (a Windows program) for this task. I have Toast 10 Titanium with the HD/BD Plugin, if that helps any.
Got a tip for us?

not sure if this helps you as it's probably way more software then you need. but with Protools you could use strip silence across many files and export.
No such feature in STP, much to my dismay.
If you want to do it across a large file you'll need something like Pro Tools, or Logic Pro and then export all the seperate regions. Note that Pro Tools LE can be purchased quite cheaply with their Micro hardware.
If you're just removing silence from the start and end of a file the only thing I can think of is the Auto Trim/Crop tool in Sound Forge, files can be batched too. That's only for Windows though unfortunately.
Sound Forge? You really should try this free Windows program that batch removes silence from the beginning and end of WAV audio files that I use. It's called Silence Remover, and it's made by Noisetime. It's completely portable too - you can take it with you on a USB drive, and use it at any Windows machine. I just wish I didn't have to use Windows just for this one tool.
