I'm over here, waving. Sox is a command-line utility, and one of the powers of a well-designed set of CLI utilities (some would say, of a set of Unix or Linux CLI utilities) is that each one does one tightly-defined thing as well as it can, and lets other tools do other stuff. I suppose one's point of view might depend on how fluent one is with scripting languages; I'm perfectly happy to write (quite complex) scripts which call sox, and use any number of appropriate other tools to determine what the sox command should be. But, I programmed computers for a living. I do accept that those without such fluency would have a different point of view, but ... not all that many people who hate the CLI are going to be using sox without some sort of front-end. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Sox-users mailing list Sox-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sox-users
