Re: [tlug] Editing Soud Files (WAV & MP3)

I just sent a couple of e-mails from G-Mail, and then I got two bakemoji 
messages without titles from TLUG, so - in case those were mine (what in 
the world happened?), here are the two messages again:

I went there and I'm wondering which of the following I should
download for SuSE 9.3?:

   * Alt Linux
   * Debian
   * Gentoo
   * PLD Linux
   * Red Hat / Fedora Core
         o Fedora Extras
         o Planet CCRMA
   * Ubuntu Linux
Linux and Unix users may also compile Audacity from source code.

Lyle, something like this should work:

sox "The Toasters - Don't Let the Bastards Grind You Down.mp3" \
 "The Toasters - Don't Let the Bastards Grind You Down_sample.mp3" \
 trim 0:25.0 0:35.0

This example will take 35 seconds of audio, starting 25 seconds from
the beginning of "The Toasters - Don't Let the Bastards Grind You
Down.mp3", and save it to "The Toasters - Don't Let the Bastards Grind
You Down_sample.mp3".

Thanks!  I tried:

sox "06 Route 66.mp3" \
"06 Route 66.mp3_edit.mp3" \
trim 0:25.0 0:35.0

- which produced:

sox "06 Route 66.mp3" \
 >  "06 Route 66.mp3_edit.mp3" \
 >  trim 0:25.0 0:35.0
sox: Unknown output file format for '06 Route 66.mp3_edit.mp3': File
type 'mp3' is not known

I had the Route 66 test file in a folder by itself and within
Conqueror I opened a terminal there....
