Re: [SoX-users] Sox on windows - getting started

Mike, Just wanted to respond back with an update. I tried a few more things to put together a windows compiler, but havent' achieved success yet. In the meantime, I tried ffmpeg. It was even less user friendly than sox for the "newbie" but it was able to transcode both an mp3 and an mp2 to my desired wav format. Now, I'll need to see if my automation system likes it. It's kind of picky about the wav's it likes. Next on to normalize with the link you suggested. One question, do you believe there will be any loss in audio quality doing the normalize? Thanks again.

Subject: Re: [SoX-users] Sox on windows - getting started Paul, Sox must be compiled sox with lame and libmad to enable mp3 support for Windows. There is a 'Code Project' explaining how to do this: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/Compiling_SOX_with_Lame.aspx Alternatively you could use ffmpeg (www.ffmpeg.org) to make the conversion: ffmpeg -i test.mp3 test.wav or use mpg123 (www.mpg123.de): mpg123 -w test.wav test.mp3 and then use normalize http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/normalize/normalize-0.7.7-win32.zip to make the volume adjustment: normalize -m 80 test.wav Best Wishes Mike Hirst Paul Martin wrote: > Ive read and reread the win32 document but apparently Im not doing > something correctly.
