Are you sure you were not talking about the 
Audio Cd Browser in Kong?  It converted the opposite
direction.

You probably got that word grotty right out of the man page.

Odd that the very next sentence after the word grotty shows that the syntax by 
default is extension driven for output files, and the simple command
   sox   file.mp3     file.wav
is all you really need.  I'm not sure it can get a lot simpler.

And converting a 3meg mp3 to a 35 meg wav took mere seconds on this
clunk of a machine I use for email.  File growth is to be expected in this
type of conversion.
