Yes, exactly what I wanted on the first step. I now realize I need to use sox to finish the job of converting the wav file to the cdr format that audio cd players like so well. This does seem like a lengthy process, but that just means I'll have to devise a script unless someone has one I can look over. I got a few tunes to do. I'm thinking that maybe I'll make a sample disc to see if this works and if not then I'll know I am doing something wrong. I imagine there's no way for me to take the cdr file and play it before frying up a tasty disc that might not turn out to be anything, but some new sonic pain generater ay? tnx Scott On Fri, Aug 09, 2002 at 01:42:15PM -0500, Gregory Nowak wrote: > If I understand correctly, you have mp3 files that you want to convert to wav. > > The way I do it with mpg123 is "mpg123 -w file.wav file.mp3". > Greg >
