And for today's stupid question...how to use?

I used tosha to grab the track, which produces a wave file, no? But I get
told:

8hz-mp3 1998 8Hz software http://www.8hz.com
[ERROR] Input not a MS-RIFF file

No.

From the tosha(1) manpage:
The output data is in linear PCM format, headerless (raw),
44.1 kHz, signed 16 bit stereo. If you need a different
format, use sox(1) to convert it.

Specifically, you might want a script such as:
#!/bin/csh
tosha -t 1-100
foreach f (*.pcm)
set g=$f:r
set w=$g.wav
set m=$g.mp3
echo Converting $f to $w
sox -t raw -r 44100 -s -w -c 2 $f $w
rm $f
8hz-mp3 $w $m
rm $w
end

If you're low on disk space, you'll probably want to grab the tracks
one at a time, instead of all at once. The changes are left as an
exercise for the reader.
