"It doesn't work" is not helpful.  Is there an error message?  What DOES
happen?

Forget that for now, though.  Let's stick with Windows CLI.  Evidently the
link I sent wasn't a good one.  Try this

mkdir foo
for %i in (*.wav) do sox %i -b 8 foo\%i

You can use "help for" in Windows cmd window for more info on how to use
"for".
