  31. .SH DESCRIPTION
  32. .I Mp3enc
  33. compresses audio on standard input,
  34. normally PCM-encoded,
  35. and produces MP3-encoded audio on standard output.
  36. By default, the MP3 file will use `constant bit-rate' (CBR)
  37. encoding, but that can be changed via
  38. .B --abr
  39. (average bitrate desired, ABR)
  40. or
  41. .BR -v
  42. (variable bitrate, VBR).
  43. .SS Options
  44. .TF "\fB-b \fP"
  45. .TP
  46. .B -b
  47. set minimum allowed
  48. .I bitrate
  49. in Kb/s for VBR, default 32Kb/s.
  50. For CBR,
  51. set the exact bitrate in Kb/s, which defaults to 128Kb/s.
  52. .TP
  53. .B -B
  54. set maximum allowed
  55. .I bitrate
  56. in Kb/s for VBR, default 256Kb/s.
  57. .TP
  58. .BI -h
  59. same as
  60. .LR "-q 2" .
  61. .TP
  62. .B -m
  63. .I mode
  64. may be
  65. (s)tereo,
  66. (j)oint,
  67. (f)orce
  68. or
  69. (m)ono
  70. (default j).
  71. .B force
  72. forces mid/side stereo on all frames.
  73. .TP
  74. .B -p
  75. add CRC error protection (adds an additional 16 bits per frame to the stream).
  76. This seems to break playback.
  77. .TP
  78. .B -q
  79. sets output quality to
  80. .I q
  81. (see
  82. .BR -V ).
  83. .TP
  84. .B -r
  85. input is raw pcm
  86. .TP
  87. .B -s
  88. set sampling frequency of input file (in KHz) to
  89. .IR sfreq ,
  90. default is 44.1.
  91. .TP
  92. .B -v
  93. use variable bitrate (VBR) encoding
  94. .TP
  95. .B -V
  96. set quality setting for VBR to
  97. .IR q .
  98. Default
  99. .I q
  100. is 4;
  101. 0 produces highest-quality and largest files, and
  102. 9 produces lowest-quality and smallest files.
  103. .SS Long options
  104. .TF "\fB--resample sfreq \fP"
  105. .TP
  106. .BI --abr " bitrate"
  107. sets average
  108. .I bitrate
  109. desired in Kb/s, instead of setting quality,
  110. and generates ABR encoding.
  111. .TP
  112. .BI --resample " sfreq"
  113. set sampling frequency of output file (in KHz) to
  114. .IR sfreq ,
  115. default is input sfreq.
  116. .TP
  117. .BI --mp3input

  204. .SH BUGS
  205. Quality is much better than encoders based on the ISO routines,
  206. but still not as good as the FhG encoder.
  207. .PP
  208. It's a GNU behemoth, lightly rehabilitated.
  209. There are zillions of undocumented options.
