mp3val1

A program for mpeg audio stream validation

Usage

mp3val [-l <log_file>] [-f] [-si] [-p] [-v] <files to validate>

Overview

MP3val is a small, high-speed tool for MPEG audio files validation and (optionally) fixing problems. It was primarily designed for verification of MPEG 1 Layer III (MP3) files, but supports also other MPEG versions and layers. It can be useful for finding corrupted files (e.g. incompletely downloaded).

Options

-l <log_file>

Log file name. If this argument is missing, all the information will be written to stdout.

-f

Try to fix errors.

-si

Suppress INFO messages.

-p

Pipe mode (receive input file names from stdin). Intended for interaction with frontends. <files to validate> is ignored in this case.

-v

Print version and exit
