Mp3 To Wav File Conversion

[bam]

anyone know what will do this? mencoder? perhaps, or is there another alternative?

Xmms can do it; just change the output plugin to Disk Writer.

Code: [Select]

sox file.mp3 new_file.wav

sox compiled well, but I did not have lame.c or lame.h(and all the includes included, so I assume it includes a mp3-->wav codec in the source for sox or no??

[Stubear]

hmm, not sure about that, I've always complied it on a desktop with lame, libvorbis etc installed.

Give it a try and see

works good as long as libmad is installed, at least from mp3-->wav, pretty fast too, 34mb wav file in less than a minute

If you use Windows, download CDex
http://www.cdex.n3.net/
It's a well known CD ripper in a small package, and can convert  mp3 > wav, wav > mp3

I've used it for 15 yrs. It has a lot of settings. I always have used Lame for encoding.

Hi

Always plenty of ways to skin a cat.

This is part of my commandline script for managing CD burning, striping etc.

## recode to .wav for cd burning and change name from mp3 to wav

   for i in *.mp3; do lame --decode $i `basename $i .mp3`.wav; done

Obviously requires lame and basename requires Perl I think.

To do the opposite I use:-


       for i in /tmp/track_*.wav
          {
          lame -h $i $i.mp3
          }
      
      
      cd /tmp
      rename .wav.mp3 .mp3 *.wav.mp3
      
      for i in *.inf *.wav
          {
          rm $i
          }
      cd /
      
   
I think rename was deprecated on some systems, seem to remember I had to add it to mine when I changed distros some while back
