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.
