Re: Sox Truncating MP3

I would prefer to use one application because the file is alreadly loaded
in Sox.  And more importantly if data is getting thrown away in Sox I want
to see something in the output to warn me.  If I run the file through
ffmpeg and then Sox afterwards, how do I know that Sox didn't throw
something away if the output from ffmpeg was bad?

If Sox can't handle the file at the least Sox should output a warning.
