The 'big' computer doesn't do sound (yet), so I move the files around on sneaker net. I do know how long that first file is, about 7 seconds.

I already do that (the big uncompressed file is converted to MP3 as the last step), and the MP3 does the same thing: stops after 7 seconds > Any other players you can try?

I'm working on "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest' to be sure I process a lot of MP3s. Yesterday, SoX kept saying it couldn't create a complete AIFF header because the file was too big. So I cut things down until it quit whining. It's still small, and SoX just printed out: -rw-r--r-- 1 ghe ghe 316M Sep 22 13:03 big_file.flac > What's the exact command? ['sox', '--multi-threaded', '--combine', 'concatenate', 'flacs/1-01HornetIntro.flac', 'flacs/1-02Hornet01a.flac', 'flacs/1-03Hornet01b.flac', 'flacs/1-04Hornet01c.flac', 'flacs/1-05Hornet01d.flac', 'flacs/1-06Hornet01e.flac', 'flacs/1-07Hornet02a.flac', 'flacs/1-08Hornet02b.flac', 'flacs/1-09Hornet02c.flac', 'flacs/1-10Hornet02d.flac', 'flacs/1-11Hornet02e.flac', 'flacs/2-01Hornet02f.flac', 'flacs/2-02Hornet03a.flac', 'flacs/2-03Hornet03b.flac', 'flacs/2-04Hornet03c.flac', 'flacs/2-05Hornet03d.flac', 'flacs/2-06Hornet03e.flac', 'flacs/2-07Hornet04a.flac', 'flacs/2-08Hornet04b.flac', 'flacs/2-09Hornet04c.flac', 'flacs/2-10Hornet04d.flac', 'flacs/2-11Hornet04e.flac', 'flacs/2-12Hornet04f.flac', 'big_file.flac'] That's a Python list printed by Python from after I changed to FLAC a few minutes ago -- that's what the 'subprocess' method wants to see. There are no commas in the real thing. I think -- I'm a mild Python noob too, but nothing like I am with SoX. > Can you reproduce the problem with smaller initial AIFF source > files?

Both uncompressed and as an MP3. I guess the SoX developers were just kidding about the program working with AIFF. Thanks very much, Eric. You saved me many hours of frustration. -- Glenn English ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Sox-users mailing list Sox-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sox-users
