SoXI 1 "February 1, 2013" "soxi" "Sound eXchange"
NAME
SoXI - Sound eXchange Information, display sound file metadata
SYNOPSIS
soxi [-V[level]] [-T] [-t\^|\^-r\^|\^-c\^|\^-s\^|\^-d\^|\^-D\^|\^-b\^|\^-B\^|\^-p\^|\^-e\^|\^-a] infile1 ...
DESCRIPTION
Displays information from the header of a given audio file or files. Supported audio file types are listed and described in soxformat (7). Note however, that soxi is intended for use only with audio files with a self-describing header.

By default, as much information as is available is shown. An option may be given to select just a single piece of information (perhaps for use in a script or batch-file).

OPTIONS

-V Set verbosity. See sox (1) for details.

-T Used with multiple files; changes the behaviour of -s , -d and -D to display the total across all given files. Note that when used with -s with files with different sampling rates, this is of questionable value.

-t Show detected file-type.

-r Show sample-rate.

-c Show number of channels.

-s Show number of samples (0 if unavailable).

-d Show duration in hours, minutes and seconds (0 if unavailable). Equivalent to number of samples divided by the sample-rate.

-D Show duration in seconds (0 if unavailable).

-b Show number of bits per sample (0 if not applicable).

-B Show the bitrate averaged over the whole file (0 if unavailable).

-p Show estimated sample precision in bits.

-e Show the name of the audio encoding.

-a Show file comments (annotations) if available.
