[SoX-users] error message when trying to concatenate

[Dieter B. <die...@un...>]

Hi, I am new here and would greatly appreciate help. 

I wanted to use SOX under WinXP SP4. When trying such a 
simple command such as:

sox -m snippet1.wav snippet4.wav test.wav

I always get the error:

sox formats: can't open input file 'snippet4.wav': Unhandled 
WAV file encoding (MP3)

I suppose that these files are correctly encoded as they are 
part of the package. What is wrong?

Essentially, I would like to past together a large number of 
short sound files. Is it possible to use "*" for this e.g.
"sox -m *.wav result.wav?

Is there no way to use "record" under Windows?

Thanks a lot for any hint,
Dieter
