    WAV to MP3 conversion



    Hallo all,
    I need to convert a wave files with ImaADPCM compression in mp3, on the server.
    I tryed Sox and Lame but I am not really good with those:
    sox FAIL formats: can't open input file `1.wav': WAVE: RIFF header not found
    Here I uploaded one file: vendocasa.biz/MIX/1.wav
    Thankyou very much in advance.

    Matteo

    Hey there!
    If you get yourself the Wine program on Ubuntu, then you can install and run a load of windows programs. once you have Wine installed just do a quick search on google.com
    I put in this "ImaADPCM MP3 from wav converter" and there are links to places I don't know these programs very well but I do know you have a better chance searching through windows programs

    hope this helps

    Which Linux distro are you using?

    Its really easy to convert wav to mp3 format through lame. What error message does lame throw?
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Think I got it, using ffmpeg: ffmpeg -i input.wav output.mp3 works fine.
    Lame was complaining about the riff header missing, instead ffmpeg just does it.
    Ciao!

    Glad you got it sorted! ffmpeg is the cat's meow when converting sound and video files! It's so easy from the command line a "GUI" would just make it more complicated!

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    I love ffmpeg, but you can also use VLC to save/convert one audio format to another. Ffmpeg is a purely command line tool with zillions of options, so you can do just about any kind of A/V transcoding you want.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    soundconverter is also great since it uses the gstreamer framework
