Cheers Bryan, this was what I was looking for, a nice simple command which 
worked perfectly. I dropped the rate down from 44100 to 8000 as these tapes 
are only speech and do not contain music. Quality seems very acceptable, 
although I think I will have to compress to mp3 format as even these .wav 
files are still rather large.

regards
magnet
