Hmm. I've never tried to convert mp3s to wavs. But I've converted a lot of wavs to flacs and mp3s to flacs and flacs to mp3. All I've done, IIRC, is give SoX the file extensions (ones SoX knows how to deal with), and it figures things out by itself. As I understand the dox, that that's the way to do it. I'm using the normal Debian binary install, BTW -- lame seems to be part of the package. Damn thing just works. I've never tried to set the parameters of the output mp3 files, though. SoX's defaults have done very nicely for me. On the input, it seems to just figure out how things are set. I'm also a bit of a SoX noob, so if I'm doing something wrong, I'd sure like to know about it... -- 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
