getting setup with required libraries.

[derek riemer <Derek.Riemer@Colorado.EDU>]

Hi,
I am using sox to write a script to convert a bunch of songs to ogg
format from m4a and mp3. Is there any tools I need to get in order to do
this? When my script runs I get an error like this. Some of the lines
are my scripts output with the current directory.
.\_Unknown_\classics\01 Track 01.mp3 //part of my scripts output
sox FAIL util: Unable to load MAD decoder library (libmad).
sox FAIL formats: can't open input file `.\_Unknown_\Holophonia\01 Track
01.mp3':
done with directory name .\_Unknown_\classics //part of my scripts output
Would the error
sox FAIL util: Unable to load MAD decoder library (libmad).
mean I don't have the laim library for mpeg files? I don't see any
documentation for where to get it. It's probably hiding in plain sight
though.
Do I also need the library for ffmpeg if I am using m4a's?
I converted a few .wav files with no problem so I am thinking there is a
library i am missing.
Both libraries are on my system for audacity.
Thanks,
Derek
