Hi all, I am a new user of MacPerl as well, and have started learning how to interpret the Shuck documents from a few of the posts here. Even though they are supposed to be help documents, they are still really cryptic- not giving any examples of how to use them, but only listing components. A question for you all: What module/ commands can I use to examine a sound file and find out: # of channels, sample rate, duration. I found some things that might be useful in both the Sound and Quicktime modules, but can't understand the Pod documentation of either one. Thanks for indulging...
