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.
