[SoX-users] Sox on windows - getting started

[Paul M. <pm...@co...>]

I've read and reread the win32 document but apparently I'm not doing
something correctly.  I installed Sox.  When I go to that directory using
the command line and just type in sox, it spits out the help file, so at
least I know it's "working".  What's not though is when I try a basic
conversion.  I'm wanting it to convert from an mp3 to a wav file and
eventually, drop the volume as well.  

 

But, what' s happening is apparently nothing.  For instance, when I type (at
the windows command prompt)

> sox c:\test\utb20100607.mp3 test.wav

I hit return and then it just blinks..with no response.

 

Per it's instructions, I did install Cygwin and then compile DLL's for lame
and madlib and put them in the sox directly.  So, can you give me a clue
where I'm going wrong?  As I'm just beginning with this, it's probably
several places. LOL.  Thanks in advance.
