Reply-To: X-Organization: Thought Unlimited. Public service Unix since 1986. X-Of_Interest: Observing twenty years of service to the Unix community Is there a way of using sox (or another translator) to turn HUGE audio mp3 files into much much smaller files? Say taking man mp3 files that are stored at 198k high fidelity and outputting these to 16k or 32k mp3 (or *.ogg or other format) audio files? thanks for any insights, sugggestions, or pointers, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
