I'm sure this is an easy one but I thought I'd ask here first.....
I've got a bunch of 24 bit flac files that I'd like to convert to 16 bit in
order to play them on my Android phone.
I'm not totally sure how they've been encoded to 24 bit (I must've done that
at some point but I don't remember when/how).
Also, I've noticed that a bunch of them are also "multi-channeled".
How in the world did they get that way? I've never recorded anything but to
2 channels so the fact that I have a few flac files that have "8 channels"
seems really weird.
So, really, I'd like to be able to knock down the bit rate from 24 to 16 and
also put these into stereo as well.
Command line and/or gui is fine.
Any input is much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,
sox -b 24 input.flac -b 16 -c 2 output.flac
might get you there
Thanks

I think that'll do it, Paul.
Thanks.
Just out of curiosity, what does sox do that ffmpeg doesn't?
Never used it before....

In my experience, when you issue a sox command half of it gets lost in
the laundry.

laundry that went in came back out as intended.

Well, ffmpeg probably can do the same thing. The problem with ffmpeg for me is
_me_: it has so many parameters (about 4.3 zillion) that I keep forgetting
which ones to use.
Also, I used sox recently for something else, so it was the first thing that
came to mind.
Thanks

if this is real 24bit data (as opposed to 16bit data with the 8 least
significant bits at zero, you want to dither it down to 16bit, rather
than just truncate it.
