Re: [SoX-users] compressing an mp3 while maintaining the sampling rate

[Daniel P. <DP...@ne...>]

To pipe, use hyphens for the appropriate output/input params:
 
sox input output | lame input output
 
becomes
 
sox input.wav - | lame - output.mp3

may you decrease the bit rate? Something like -r44100 -b8 ?
Has I didn't use the mp3 with sox, I can't be sure if it's possible.


It looks like the solution is to take the file sox produces and put it
through lame:

   lame --silent -b 80 --resample 44.1 one.mp3 two.mp3

For some reason I can't figure out how to pipe the sox output to lame, but
using two separate commands works for now. Thanks very much.
