sox.

Highly recommended for any processing of audio.

It does pretty good conversions by default. It also gives you options to
control the method and aspects like dither PDF, etc. The source code is
also available if you wish to delve and confirm.

I think it uses the same code as 'secret rabbit' which you may find on
the
web, and ALSA uses for conversions.

ffmpeg will also work, but its really aimed more generally at AV whereas
sox is aimed specifically at audio.

FWIW I also use sox for wave - flac conversions and it has a nice
'stats'
report that lets you detect things like any clipping, etc. Rate
conversions
can lead to clipping if the waveforms have peaks too near to maximum.

Thanks; it seems to be the ideal program for the job.


I'd find the lack of a GUI difficult. FWIW I've used Max
http://sbooth.org/Max/ for years and don't recall any problems.
