Hi Reid, I assume that this is a data CD, so you can just mount it and access the files. To convert to wav, you could use sox (apt-get install sox) or sndfile-convert (apt-get install sndfile-programs). Both determine the desired format from the extension, so something like sox /media/cdrom/foo.aiff /some/path/foo.wav should do the trick. If you want to batch convert all files, maybe do something like cd /media/cdrom for file in *.aiff; do sox $file /some/path/`echo $file | sed s/aiff/ wav/`; done (other solutions with find, xargs, basename come to mind) maarten On Jan 11, 2009, at 7:41 PM, Reid Vail wrote: > Hello group - > > I'm a pretty experienced linux \ ubuntu user trying to rip a CD with > .aiff files and convert them to some format that more easily > understood > by some of my not-so-high-tech audio equipment.
