4 SoX: Sound eXchange
5 ===================
7 SoX (Sound eXchange) is the Swiss Army knife of sound processing tools: it
8 can convert sound files between many different file formats & audio devices,
9 and can apply many sound effects & transformations, as well as doing basic
10 analysis and providing input to more capable analysis and plotting tools.
12 SoX is licensed under the GNU GPL and GNU LGPL. To be precise, the 'sox'
13 and 'soxi' programs are distributed under the GPL, while the library
14 'libsox' (in which most of SoX's functionality resides) is dual-licensed.
15 Note that some optional components of libsox are GPL only: if you use these,
16 you must use libsox under the GPL. See INSTALL for the list of optional
17 components and their licences.
19 If this distribution is of source code (as opposed to pre-built binaries),
20 then you will need to compile and install SoX as described in the 'INSTALL'
21 file.
23 Changes between this release and previous releases of SoX can be found in
24 the 'ChangeLog' file; a summary of the file formats and effects supported in
25 this release can be found below. Detailed documentation for using SoX can
26 be found in the distributed 'man' pages:
28 o sox(1)
29 o soxi(1)
30 o soxformat(7)
31 o libsox(3)
33 or in plain text or PDF files for those systems without man.
