"C:\Program Files (x86)\sox-14-4-2\sox.exe" "09 - Mirror Mirro.flac" "output.flac" trim 0 2

An error message appeared: FAIL formats: can't open input file `09 - Mirror Mirro.flac': No such file or directory

Firstly, are you sure it shouldn't be "09 - Mirror Mirror.flac"?

Try running:

Code:

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\sox-14-4-2\"

Then try again.

It appears that SOX is installed, but just to check run:

Code:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\sox-14-4-2\sox.exe" --version

It should output:

Code:

C:\Program Files (x86)\sox-14-4-2\sox.exe:      SoX v14.4.2

Then dir the file to make sure you have spelt it correctly:

Code:

dir /B "09 - Mirror Mirro.flac"

It should print the name of the file.

Because you haven't specified a path the flac file needs to be in the folder that you're running the commands from. Alternatively specify the full path e.g. "C:\Program Files (x86)\sox-14-4-2\09 - Mirror Mirro.flac".

Make sure you include a path for output filename as well if necessary. Depending on your Windows rights it may not let you create it under 'Program Files'.
