SoX --- This file contains information specific to the Win32 version of SoX. Please refer to the README file for general information. The binary SOX.EXE can be installed anywhere you desire. The only restriction is that the included CYGWIN1.DLL must be located in the same directory as SOX.EXE or somewhere within your PATH. SoX Helper Applications ----------------------- SoX also includes support for SOXI.EXE, PLAY.EXE and REC.EXE and their behaviors are documented in included PDF's. They have the same install restrictions as SOX.EXE. SOXI.EXE, PLAY.EXE, and REC.EXE are not distributed with this package to reduce size requirements. They are, in fact, only copies of the original SOX.EXE binary which changes SOX.EXE's behavior based on the executable's filename. If you wish to make use of these utils then you can create them yourself. copy sox.exe soxi.exe copy sox.exe play.exe copy sox.exe rec.exe If you are concerned with disk space, the play and record functionality can be equated using the "-d" option with SOX.EXE. soxi functionality can be equated using the "--info" option with SOX.EXE. The rough syntax is: play: sox [input files and options] -d [effects] rec: sox -d [output file and options] [effects] soxi: sox --info [input files and options] wget ---- SoX can make use of the wget command line utility to load files over the internet. A binary copy of wget has been included with this package of SoX for your convience. For SoX to make use of wget, it must be located either in your PATH or within the same directory that SoX is ran from. Custom configuration of wget can be made by editing the file wget.ini contained in the same directory as wget.exe. Please consult wget's homepage for access to source code as well as further instructions on configuring. http://www.gnu.org/software/wget Acknowledgements ---------------- SOX.EXE included in this package makes use of the following projects: SoX - http://sox.sourceforge.net Ogg Vorbis - http://www.vorbis.com FLAC - http://flac.sourceforge.net libsndfile - http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile WavPack - http://www.wavpack.com PNG - http://www.libpng.org/pub/png Enjoy, The SoX Development Team
