Hi Jan Thanks for responding to my post. I am actually still having trouble. Retesting today, this was the command to split: sox ../whats-been-happening.mp3 out.wav silence 1 0.5 5% 1 0.5 5% : newfile : restart and this was the command to concatenate: sox -V $(ls | sort -f) conten.wav Here is the first printout, there were 8 of them and they were all similar. """" Input File : 'out001.wav' Channels : 2 Sample Rate : 44100 Precision : 16-bit Duration : 00:00:02.28 = 100495 samples = 170.91 CDDA sectors File Size : 402k Bit Rate : 1.41M Sample Encoding: 16-bit Signed Integer PCM Endian Type : little Reverse Nibbles: no Reverse Bits : no """ BTW, I posted to the list to apologize for a bad post but I am not sure it is now. I was able to split audio files fine with Audacity and I thought that it uses Sox in the background and that I must have just done something dumb but now I am not sure. The resulting concatenated audio file from sox is a lot shorter than the files that were inputted.
