I need a PET of SOX thats compatible with Precise. Found a LP2sox.sfs in LazY Puppy repo, but don't know how to reverse engineer to a PET.
Maybe a link to how to convert so I could learn how.

Here's the sox I use in all my Puppies. Its from Puppy431 but still works well. I built the pinstall script to adapt to the latest releases. I just checked in Precise 561 and its good to go.

Download sox-14.3.0-p4-jrb2.pet

jrb, your .pet works on X-precise-2.2 (a beautiful pup) which is precise 5.7.1 IIRC.

Thanks so much for sharing! I use sox as a brown noise machine at night.

Pet sox-14.3.0-p4.pet installe.
I want to join 2 files mp3 and reduce the size to post tthem in the forum included in a tar.gz archive.
How do you do ? Sox is it the tool to do that ?

Just do a right-click onto the SFS in LazY Puppy and choose "Convert to PET".

I don't think you can do this.

To combine two or multiple MP3 files I would use Audacity.

Though, the .tar.gz will be much too big to upload it to the forum, which has a maximum file size to be able to upload to the forum of 256 KB.

Since MP3 files are already compressed files there will not be much more compression when putting them into a .tar.gz or any else archive.

The same is with images.

Usually it doesn't make sense to package audio and/or image files into a archive when focused just on compressed size of files.

The easiest way to join mp3's is with the cat command. If you need something more sophisticated, the latest version of PeasyDisc has a tool for doing this with ffmpeg.
