How do I convert mp3's to Wav's?

[blackbelt_jones]

A simple question; honest, I've tried to find the answer. What do I use and how do I use it?

One word, LAME

Squeegy means the program "lame" -- not that you are lame. ;)

Anyway, the syntax (if I remember correct) is:

lame --decode file.mp3 file.wav

where file is the name of your mp3.


Also, if you have XMMS, you can use the DiskWriter plugin to convert. (It's good if you have a lot of MP3's to convert to WAV files.)

Thanks. I've used lame to turn wavs into mp3s... now I know how to do the reverse trick!
