Re: [SoX-users] resample and change bit depth

[Jim S. <jsh...@pp...>]

I have tried:   sox /home/me/0/tst.wav -b 16 -r 44100 /home/me/0/tst

it complains of no file found "16"  it is like the -b switch has no 
meaning .
I have sox 14.0.0 , i do not see a -b in the help....
so maybe i need 14.3.1  is that possible?

i am running ubuntu -- what might you think.
i tried a yum update sox .... it complained of needing some python -- so 
maybe i have an updating problem.

Again my Goal is to convert file.wav  24 bit 96kHz  to 16 bit 44.1 kHz  
thanks!
