Music 'primes' Whisper to hear only music

[ArthurPeabody]

I've been transcribing a series of radio programs, all recorded with the same quality and voices. I start them before I go to bed because they hog CPU time and take 4 hours. I woke up this morning to find Whisper had transcribed last night's program as all '[Music]'. I suspect the problem was that the first 50 seconds was music. If I start it after that it works as usual.

Same problem here. Any workarounds? I realized that there's music in the background.

My problem was that the first 50 seconds was only music. I restarted at second 51 and had the usual result. Whisper has usually done a good job of ignoring background music for me. If the music is in a separate channel you can separate channels.
