(I'm running sox 12.17.4 on Debian testing.) sox -h and the man page suggest mp3 support, but
$ sox foo.wav foo.mp3 sox: Sorry, no MP3 encoding support produces nothing (actually an empty file), although $ sox foo1.mp3 foo1.wav sox: Do not support MPEG audio (layer I, III or III) with 16-bit data. Forcing to Signed. produces a wav file. I assume this is because of licensing issues with the MP3 encoding algorithm, right? More bizarre, however, is the fact that $ sox foo1.mp3 foo1.wav produces a WAV file of a type that XMMS cannot play and cdrecord cannot use (although the WAV file can be converted by sox into valid files in other formats such as ogg). Why is this? Thanks, Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
