NAME

MP3val - A program for MPEG audio stream validation

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

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).

-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.
