I guess those are garments that go on feet and are more masculine than women sox ;-) Well, DUH! This IS a linux list, ain't it? If someone doesn't know about the man command by the time he/she gets here, then there is always "Linux for Dummies" at Amazon.com. I appreciated the terse "man sox" reply. That was the first time I ever heard of sox and it worked to convert my .wav file to .mp3, just like I wanted it to do. It's such a simple tool. As a footnote, the .wav file was a conversion of a song (free, no copyright) that I thought was an mp3 file but when it saved, it was a .wav file. The .wav file was about 13MB. After sox, the .mp3 is around 1.5MB (or so). The same file, downloaded via Firefox and saved to my relative's Winders box is about 3MB. Not sure why, don't really care, but mine sounds as good and takes up half the space. Score another for the penguin.
