Default Concatenating Audio Files in with Perl on a Mac

"Yes" to both. I've done a bit of Perl scripting on my Sun workstation
at work.

Make a script that, using SOX strips
headers and if needed convert to the same samplerate, samplewidth, etc.,
and outputs raw audio data to stdout. Input this raw datastream in SOX
through stdin to generate a WAF or AIIF file. http://sox.sourceforge.net/


Ya know, thinking back a long time ago (I think it was around the time
when MacOS 7 first came out!), I wrote some code code to dork around
with AIFF files. I may be able to resurrect and adapt that code for
doing the actual opening and writing of the AIFF files themselves. If I
can find it, that is!


Yeah, the sox stuff seems to be able to do almost anything. The syntax
learning curve is a bit steep, though, as I recall from previous
experiments.
