Re: [SoX-users] Reading a broken WAV file?

[Michael C. <ch...@mc...>]

This is OT for SoX, but as the thread has discussed the difficulty of moving
large (>4GB files) arround on USB-sticks, I thought I would report one
apparent (I still have to try it!) solution.

One can use:
tar -c -M --tape-length XXX [etc]
to create multiple *.tar files each (or each but the last!) of length XXX 
times 1024 bytes.

These can then be moved arround.
Then re-assembled:
tar -x -M [etc]

see <http://paulbradley.tv/44/> (or google for 'tar "tape-length" ').

Apologies off-topic, but it seems irresponsible to have discussed the problem 
without then reporting a solution.
