I need to check the duration of a group of audio files. Is there a simple way to do this on the unix command-line?
> duration * I have the amazing SoX app which has an option called stats that generates a set of audio info including duration. I am looking for a way to get only duration. I am flexible on output format, could be any of sample length, hh:mm:ss, or seconds. The latter would be my preference.

The easiest way to obtain the duration of an audio file is through the embed Audio tag, used to embed sound content in documents. It may contain one or more audio sources, represented using the src attribute or the <source> element nested on the audio tag.
Shazam: A mobile app where you can run an audio search by audio instead of text. In other words, you can feed the app a sound and have it determine the title and more information like the artist and possibly lyrics, great for when you need to identify an unknown song.
soxi -D filename soxi -D * Soxi queries metadata of audio files; D is the duration option. It supports globbing. Soxi's big brother sox does command-line audio processing.
