I have about 150 uncompressed audio files that I want

relatively quickly.
The very oldest were recorded as 16bit 44.1k, more recent ones were 16bit, 48k
and the latest ones 24bit 48k.
I've moved them all into the same directory, so is there a simple script I can
run that will scan this and list the name and details of each file?
I can find plenty of programs that can change the format, but can't find any
that will just tell me what it is :(
Maybe this :
$ file bunting.wav
bunting.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM,
16 bit, mono 44100 Hz
It works with wildcards.
$file *.*
And you can redirect the output.
$file *.* > mylist
The sfinfo utility is even better :
$ sfinfo bunting.wav
File Name bunting.wav
File Format Microsoft RIFF WAVE Format (wave)
Data Format 16-bit integer (2's complement, little endian)
Audio Data 4398656 bytes begins at offset 44 (2c hex)
1 channel, 2199328 frames
Sampling Rate 44100.00 Hz
Duration 49.871 seconds
Also works with wildcards and redirection.
