"sox" is the command commonly used to convert the mp3 file to ulaw format.

There was someone who suggested using mp3split to create several mp3
files from the one long-ass mp3 that's downloadable from Newsline.

With that thought in mind, when you're converting all of the files from
mp3 to ulaw, assuming the mp3's that are broken up are less than 10
minutes, then at the end of each mp3 converted to ulaw file, add your
local id.  It's yet another option available in 'sox'.

type 'man sox' at a command prompt to get a better idea of how it works,
and what options are available to you.
