Hi All,
I have a wav file which cdrecord is rejecting, I believe because it is
24 bit rather than 16; here is the output from 'file':
taylor_oxley_dixon.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio,
Microsoft PCM, 24 bit, stereo 44100 Hz
Would someone be kind enough to tell me the command to convert this
file to 16 bit, please?
Use sndfile-convert:
sndfile-convert -pcm16 taylor_oxley_dixon.wav taylor_oxley_dixon16.wav
In Debian, sndfile-convert is part of the sndfile-programs package.
