[R] Converting a .wav file into an mp3 file in R

[Dimitri Liakhovitski]

Hello,

I know how to read in mp3 files, e.g., using tuneR.
But is it possible to read in a .wav file - as below and then compress
it to mp3 format?

library(tuneR)
mywav <- readWave("myfile.wav")


Thanks a lot for any hints!
