+## What it is
+
+SoX (Sound eXchange) is a command-line tool for audio. It converts between audio formats, changes sample rates, trims, joins and normalizes files, and applies effects such as fades, reverb and noise reduction. It also includes `play` and `rec` for playing and recording from the terminal. Arch's package is built from sox_ng, a maintained continuation of the original SoX.
+
+```
+sox input.wav output.flac rate 44100
+```
+
+## Why it's here
+
+- **Audio in scripts.** Batch-convert or trim recordings without opening an editor.
+- **Quick record and play.** `rec memo.wav` records from your microphone.
+
+## On CoreDesktop
+
+CoreDesktop installs SoX from pacman. Run `sox`, `play` or `rec` in a terminal. `update` keeps it current with the rest of the pacman packages.
