SOX and MP3
in [Slackware]
|
From: klee12 on 25 Apr 2005 03:29 Hello, I have Slackware 10.0, and want to convert a .wav to .mp3 file. I run sox z.wav z.mp3 and I get the reply sox: Sorry, no MP3 encoding support I can play mp3 files with the play command. I have the libmad library installed. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance klee12

What am I doing wrong? Check this, based on what found in the man page : # sox -h 2>&1 |grep -c mp3 1 If you get one, report and we'll try and guess elsewhat :D) If you get zero it's time to check why your sox isn't build with mp3 support (configure ?) ====== .mp3 MP3 Compressed Audio MP3 audio files come from the MPEG standards for audio and video compression. They are a lossy compression format that achieves good compression rates with a minimum amount of quality loss. Also see Ogg Vorbis for a similar format. MP3 sup- port in SoX is optional and requires access to either or both the external libmad and libmp3lame libraries. To see if there is support for Mp3 run sox -h and look for it under the list of supported file formats as "mp3".

You are missing "lame" because sox requires lame when it comes to writing mp3's. -- Thomas O. This area is designed to become quite warm during normal operation.

I've gone to PACKAGES.TXT searched for lame, and couldn't find anything. Did PV omit that library? If so maybe someone should contact him (I'm a newbie to Slackware so I hesitate). What I've done is compress to a .vorbis file, but for various reasons I would like to use mp3. Is there anything out there that can do the conversion? Can I get the "lame" library out there and install it myself? Thanks klee12 |
