That is the correct format for the command.

I'm pretty sure that for SoX to read or write an MP3 it needs to
be _compiled_ in.  So how it responds to an MP3 is what I would
expect.  I can't help with compiling MS Win binaries.

I have used SoX about 4 times in MS Windows. That was WinXP, so
I can't help much.  But I think ogg support is built in even in
the MS Win binary.  The version I have  (14.3) doesn't seem to
support wma.
