mpg123 and mp3 to wav conversion
okay guys I browsed the forum and found that mp3 files can be converted to wav with the mpg123
i.e mpg123 -w file.wav file.mp3 but when I try it, it just says command not found. i do have the mpg123 plugin installed for XMMS. what am I doing wrong? |
type
locate 123 and that will list all files with 123 in it. The mpg123 plugin is probably a library that XMMS uses and not an executable. You will need to find the actual mpg123 executable and install that too. I don't know, I have used ogg for ~ 1 year now and all my MP3 knowledge deteriorated quickly. :) I don't know your distro, however, linux mpg123 rpm brought up this as the second link. http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/conecti...-6cl.i386.html RO |
yeah i didnt find anything when doing that.
I'm red hat 8 |
I downloaded from that link and it worked
cheers mate |
Cool. Sometime give ogg a try, you will be surprised.

knmwt15000, just in case you do not know what ogg is:
" Ogg Vorbis is a completely open, patent-free, professional audio encoding and streaming technology with all the benefits of Open Source. " Much better quality than mp3, besides being politically correct. :-) http://www.vorbis.com/ |
I agree, I only use oggs now. The quality is better and the filesize is approx. 25% smaller.

thanks for the imput guys, i will give it a go
