As the subject says I am creating and manipulating wav files of audio tap recordings. The extent of manipulation is to join sides A & B into one file and do some noise reduction cleanup, and write the file in wav format. then attempting to write the file to cd with cdrecord cdrecord -v -eject speed=12 -pad -audio file.wav results in the following error. cdrecord: Inappropriate audio coding Googling on the error gets me this "solution" After some poking around I found that these files are often mono (one channel) and that the following conversion makes them writable by both cdrecord and xcdroast: > sox infile.wav -c 2 outfile.wav split Can someone explain the problem behind thise solution as I'd much rather fix this in writing the file from audacity.
