Sorry, it was just a whince ... it is not SoX related.
"cp audio/myfile.wav /media/USBstick/"
stops after 4GB, so I suspect the USB directory system only
allow 4GB.

Will have to find a mobile hard drive, I think.
(I could "tail -c XXX 5GBfile.wav endbit.wav" but not confident
of chopping in the right place ... and then it really would be headerless!
So iI'll try a non-USB stick method, I think.
Will also try and get the latest SoX working on the Mac ..., which would
be best.)

Happy to have all the concert but the last two pieces for the moment.

Thanks,
Michael
