Is there a way to check from the command line the audio length (not the
size of the file) of an audio file (assume wav, but I also want to do
other types, especially flac). So far I have only found this:
sox myaudiofile.wav -n stat
which gives me more information than I need, but at least I can parse
out the length from that output. Is there a simpler more direct
approach using some other command line utility ?

Much more than one way.
ecasound and the ecatools. There's ecalength:
ecalength file
It gives only one line looking like this:
t1.wav: 133.062s (2m13s)
Then there are the sndfile tools. They belong to libsndfile.
sndfile-info
This again gives quite a lot of output. Then there is at least one other
utility, which is recommended in the csound manual. Don't remember the name
exactly...
Kindest regards

Thanks for the help. ecalength seems the simplest, and is working well
for me now from within a Ruby script.

Hi!
Ecasound also has a ruby interface, I guess you could call a specific
function from there to make it easier.
Kindest regards
