Using V 2.2.2 on 32-bit Win7Pro here in Washington DC.
Is there a way to include a sample rate change in a Chain? I need to regularly do a mass conversion of 32khz MP4 files into 44.1khz WAVs. I've been looking for "resample", "sample rate", "conversion" and a bunch of other headings in the Edit Chain menu, but I'm getting nowhere.
Does Audacity actually do this? Thanks.

Re: Sample Rate Change Within Chain/Export
No, Audacity does not do that. You can export as WAV from a Chain, but not change the sample rate.
There's a post on the "Superuser" website about batch converting using SoX: https://superuser.com/questions/757532/ ... on-windows
SoX is a very versatile, cross-platform audio editor / processor that runs from the command line. More info about SoX here: http://sox.sourceforge.net/Docs/Documentation
I think Foobar2000 may also be able to do it: https://www.foobar2000.org/

Re: Sample Rate Change Within Chain/Export
Thank you for the helpful reply Steve. I will give those a try.
Not to be a jerk by dragging another product into the discussion, but FWIW, the long-defunct Cool Edit Pro has been able to do this since before 2003. And without having to invoke command line.
IMO, batch sample-rate conversion would be a worthwhile addition on the next version go-round. But for now, let me try out your suggestions. And thanks again.
