Looks interesting but crashes on Windows 8. Is there any way to make it works, this is the kind of converter I'm looking for.
That's too bad... does it give a windows crash dialog? What options did you use?

Anyhoo... you could give the 14.4.2rc2 a try: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sox/fil ... 14.4.2rc2/

SoX is very useful for batch processing duties. If you think you really really want to use it, and for whatever reason the windows builds crash win8, you could try installing Cygwin and run sox from there:

https://www.cygwin.com

Cygwin gives you a posix unix-like environment running in native windows. Download the setup exe, and you can configure it to install base components + sox (under the "Audio" category?). There are hundreds of optional components in cygwin... C compilers, text editors, SQL databases, etc. It takes a few minutes to download and install all the individual packages, but assuming cygwin doesn't have any win8 issues, it might be the way to go. The side benefit of using cygwin is it gives you a unix shell, which is much easier to deal with complex operations than windows shell IMO... e.g., for doing batch renaming operations, selective file processing, etc.

If you go that route I can give you some pointers to get going with unix shell, batch commands.
For some reason, it just crash without any reports. I've tried different settings and compatibility modes, and it still crashes. Running it through Cygwin is too much work for me right now, I may try it when I'll have the time. Thanks for the help!
