It appears that "lame" doesn't support the IMA ADPCM format. Instead of first converting to OGG and then to MP3 (which will produce a poor quality result), you can use SoX to convert the WAVE file to a new WAVE format that "lame" supports: $ file test.wav test.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, IMA ADPCM, mono 8000 Hz $ sox test.wav -s test2.wav $ file test2.wav test2.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, mono 8000 Hz $ lame test2.wav test.mp3 [ . . . ] $ -- Kevin Buhr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
