Also see the tutorial on Labeling with Audacity.

Converts a labels file produced by Audacity to metadata.csv format on the
standard output.  The input Audacity label file contains 1 or more rows, each
with 3 white-space separated columns. Each row defines a labeled segment and
is converted to a single row in the metadata output. Columns are defined as 
follows:
  1: the offset in seconds of the start of the segment
  2: the offset in seconds of the end of the segment
  3: the single label value to assign to the segment
For example, converting the following labels.txt:
  1.3  2.1 abnormal
  3.0  4.0 abnormal
using options --wav mysound.wav --gap-label-value normal --label state
produces:
  mysound.wav[0-1300],state=normal,
  mysound.wav[1300-2100],state=abnormal,
  mysound.wav[2100-4000],state=normal,
  mysound.wav[3000-4000],state=abnormal,

Note that the trailing gap segment is currently not emitted.
