SoXI − Sound eXchange Information, display sound file metadata
soxi [−V[level]] [−T] [−t|−r|−c|−s|−d|−D|−b|−B|−p|−e|−a] infile1 ...
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).
|
−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. |
