Hello! Does anyone know some app (if possible simple), DEFINTELY TEXT-BASED to playback .gsm files. Or if not, something to convert .gsm to .wav or the like.

sox and mplayer can play, convert, or encode gsm audio.

Do sox and mplayer need something special to do so? Because my mplayer refuses to play my .gsm files. They are generated by asterisk. Perhaps this is enlightening. Kindest regards and thanks for the quick response in any case!

If I recall correctly, gsm is not quite free, and I needed to compile mplayer myself in order to use it. sox mentions gsm explicitly in their manual page, but may also need a hand compile to activate it(?). Evidence that as recently as 2006, mplayer played gsm: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=399606

This is strange... I have hand-compiled mymplayer for years and always get the newest codec packages. I'll have a look at it.

Julien, I remember messing with this stuff years ago when I first ran into asterisk. A quick google shows it being invoked like this: sox -V in.gsm -s -w out.wav from this link: http://osdir.com/ml/audio.sox/2005-01/msg00002.html I have not tested. Also, if you have asterisk, this link: http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Convert+WAV+audio+files+for+us… says that as of 1.4, it has a built in convert utility. Invoke like this: file convert <file_in.format> <file_out.format> again not tested.

...

Kindest regards Julien

all the best, drew

Hi! sox really doesn't work. Perhaps a handcompile would fix that. but the asterisk utility does work fine. Thanks!

As long as the file name extention is .gsm, sndfile-play should play these.
