Usage: [OPTIONS, FILES AND DIRECTORIES] [--] [FILES AND DIRECTORIES]

this program checks audio mpeg layer 1,2 and 3 (*.mp3) files for
consistency (headers and crc) and anomalies

mode:
-l --list             list parameters by examining the first valid header and
                      size
-c --compact-list     list parameters of one file per line in a very compact
                      format: version (l=1.0, L=2.0), layer, sampling frequency
                      [kHz] (44=44.1), bitrate [kbit/s], mode (js=joint stereo,
                      st=stereo, sc=single channel, dc=dual channel), emphasis
                      (n=none, 5=50/15 usecs, J=CCITT J.17), COY (has [C]rc,
                      [O]riginal, cop[Y]right), length [min:sec], filename
                      (poss. truncated)
-e --error-check      check crc and headers for consistency and print several
                      error messages
-m --max-errors=N     with -e: set maximum number of errors N to print per file
                      (default 0==infinity) (range=[0..])
-a --anomaly-check    report all differences from these parameters: layer 3,
                      44.1kHz, 128kB, joint stereo, no emphasis, has crc
-d --dump-header      dump all possible header with sync=0xfff
-t --dump-tag         dump all possible tags of known version
   --raw-list         list parameters in raw output format for use with
                      external programs
   --raw-elem-sep=N   separate elements in one line by char N (numerical ASCII
                      code) (default="0x09")
   --raw-line-sep=N   separate lines by char N (numerical ASCII code)
                      (default="0x0a")
   --edit-frame-b=P   modify a single byte of a specific frame at a specific
                      offset; B has the format 'frame,offset,byteval', (use
                      0xff for hex or 255 for dec or 0377 for octal); this mode
                      operates on all given files and is useful for your own
                      experiment with broken streams or while testing this tool
                      ;-)

fix errors:
   --cut-junk-start   remove junk before first frame
   --cut-junk-end     remove junk after last frame
   --cut-tag-end      remove trailing tag
   --fix-headers      fix invalid headers (prevent constant parameter
                      switching), implies -e, use with care
   --fix-crc          fix crc (set crc to the calculated one), implies -e, use
                      with care
                      (note: it is not possible to add crc to files which have
                      been created without crc)

disable error messages for -e --error-check:
-G --ign-tag128       ignore 128 byte TAG after last frame
-Y --ign-resync       ignore invalid frame header
-E --ign-junk-end     ignore junk after last frame
-Z --ign-crc-error    ignore crc errors
-N --ign-non-ampeg    ignore non audio mpeg streams
-T --ign-truncated    ignore truncated last frames
-S --ign-junk-start   ignore junk before first frame
-B --ign-bitrate-sw   ignore bitrate switching and enable VBR support
-W --ign-constant-sw  ignore switching of constant parameters, such as sampling
                      frequency
   --show-valid       print the message 'valid audio mpeg stream' for all files
                      which appear to be error free (after ignoring errors)

disable anomaly messages for -a --anomaly-check
-C --any-crc          ignore crc anomalies
-M --any-mode         ignore mode anomalies
-L --any-layer        ignore layer anomalies
-K --any-bitrate      ignore bitrate anomalies
-I --any-version      ignore version anomalies
-F --any-sampling     ignore sampling frequency anomalies
-P --any-emphasis     ignore emphasis anomalies

file options:
-r --recursive        process any given directories recursively (the default is
                      to ignore all directories specified on the command line)
-f --filelist=FILE    process all files specified in FILE (one filename per
                      line) in addition to the command line
-A --accept=LIST      process only files with filename extensions specified by
                      comma separated LIST
-R --reject=LIST      do not process files with a filename extension specified
                      by comma separated LIST
-3 --only-mp3         same as --accept mp3,MP3
   --print-files      just print all filenames without processing them, then
                      exit (for debugging purposes, also useful to create files
                      for --filelist)

output options:
-s --single-line      print one line per file and message instead of splitting
                      into several lines
   --no-summary       suppress the summary printed below all messages if
                      multiple files are given
-g --log-file=FILE    print names of erroneous files to FILE, one per line
-q --quiet            quiet mode, hide messages about directories, non-regular
                      or non-existing files
-o --color            colorize output with ANSI sequences
-b --alt-color        colorize: do not use bold ANSI sequences
   --ascii-only       replace the range of ASCII chars 160-255 (which is
                      usually printable: e.g. ISO-8859) by '?'
-p --progress         show progress information on stderr

common options:
-0 --dummy            do not write/modify anything other than the logfile
-h --help             print this help message, then exit successfully
   --version          print version, then exit successfully
