[[category:Top Level]]</div>Ooveshttps://wiki.themixingbowl.org/index.php?title=MP3&diff=3723MP32007-11-29T19:38:55Z<p>Ooves: Licensing information was missing and added.</p>
<hr />
<div>'''MP3''' is short for '''MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3''' and it is the preferred audio format at The Mixing Bowl due to its compatibility and quality. <br />
<br />
==MP3 Licensing==<br />
See [http://mp3licensing.com/royalty/ royalty rates], consider using an open and patent-free alternatives as [[Ogg Vorbis]] or [[FLAC]].<br />
<br />
==MP3 playback==<br />
Any hardware and software player/device can decode and play these files. A very good all-platform player is [[VLC]], for the Windows platform the preferred choices are [[Winamp]] (the de-facto standard), [[foobar2000]] (great sound quality for experienced users), and [[Apollo]], the best "mp3-only" player on the internet (very often used by radio stations to broadcast mp3-based content). <br />
<br />
==MP3 creation==<br />
<br />
The [[LAME]] encoder is needed. Do not use other [[MP3]] encoders (for example that one that comes with [[Winamp]])! Encoding with [[LAME]] is very simple and easy:<br />
<br />
*Please visit the [http://wiki.themixingbowl.org/LAME LAME wiki page] for the current recommended version <br />
*The input file for [[LAME]] is most often a [[WAV]] file (CD tracks or recorded broadcasts with the *.wav extension). The general syntax (command line) for getting a suitable [[MP3]] file is quite simple: "lame.exe '''switch''' input.wav", e.g. lame.exe -V 2 --vbr-new input.wav output.mp3 <br />
*Create preferably variable bitrate files ([[VBR]]) with a targeted average bitrate between 170-210kbps, if possible. Do this by using the '''-V 2 --vbr-new''' switch (alternative [[LAME]] [[VBR]] switches might be necessary for [[WAV]] files recorded from [[FM]] broadcasts, although the [[LAME]] encoder is very clever and the '''-V 2 --vbr-new''' switch is really all you need).<br />
<br />
<br />
If you don't like the [[LAME]] command line and prefer graphical interfaces or simply if you want to read a more complete guide, then please read the [[LAME]] page on the wiki.<br />
<br />
==MP3 editing==<br />
<br />
===MP3 Cutters/Splitters===<br />
<br />
Editing MP3s, to cut/split audio from a file, is best done using an editor that can perform that task [[lossless]]ly; that is, the MP3 file does not get decoded to [[WAV]] to allow editing, and then re-encoded back to mp3.<br />
<br />
Recommended [[lossless]] mp3 cutters/splitters are:<br />
* [[MP3DirectCut]]<br />
* [[MP3Splt]]<br />
* [[Pcutmp3]]<br />
<br />
====MP3 Volume Changing====<br />
<br />
* [[Replaygain]]<br />
* [[MP3Gain]]<br />
<br />
====MP3 Validation/Fixing====<br />
<br />
* [[MP3val]]<br />
* [[MP3packer]]<br />
<br />
==CD ripping to MP3==<br />
<br />
The best way to rip CDs to MP3 is with [[EAC]]. The following EAC guides are very good: <br />
*[http://www.teqnilogik.com/tutorials/eac.htm Guide 1 - Teqnilogik]<br />
*[http://users.fulladsl.be/spb2267/ Guide 2 - Essential Ripping Guide]<br />

<hr />
<div>=MP3: MPEG 1 Audio Layer 3= <br />
The MP3 algorithm development started in 1987, with a joint cooperation of [http://www.iis.fraunhofer.de/ Fraunhofer IIS-A] and the University of Erlangen. It is standardised as ISO-MPEG Audio Layer-3 (IS 11172-3 and IS 13818-3).<br />
<br />
It soon became the de facto standard for lossy audio encoding, due to the high compression rates (1/11 of the original size, still retaining considerable quality), the high availability of decoders and the low CPU requirements for playback. (486 DX2-100 is enough for real-time decoding)<br />
<br />
It supports multichannel files (Although there's no implementation yet), sampling rates from 16kHz to 24kHz (MPEG2 Layer 3) and 32kHz to 48kHz (MPEG1 Layer 3)<br />
<br />
Formal and informal listening tests have shown that MP3 at the 160-224 kbps range provide encoded results undistinguishable from the original materials in most of the cases.<br />
<br />
Due to patent issues, please consider [[Ogg Vorbis]] or [[FLAC]] for your encoding needs.<br />
<br />
=LAME=<br />
*[http://www.mp3dev.org/ LAME Homepage]<br />
[[LAME]] (Lame Ain't* an MP3 Encoder) is the recommended encoder. It has been developed by the open-source community since 1998, and has become the highest quality [[MP3]] encoder for most purposes.<br />
<br />
Some benefits for using [[LAME]]:<br />
* Highly optimised presets<br />
* Fast encoding<br />
* [[CBR]], [[ABR]] and [[VBR]] encoding methods<br />
* [[Gapless]] playback with LAME-header compliant decoders<br />
* [[Exact Audio Copy]] and [[CDex]] support<br />
<br />
_*_[[LAME]] ''is'' an MP3 encoder, it just wasn't at the very beginning of it's life<br />
<br />
=MP3 Creation With The LAME Encoder=<br />
<br />
To save yourself reading & researching a lot of information, just know that with the following applications you can make the best mp3 possible for free (Audiophile geeks have tested these applications for months & years, so you know it's going to be the best advice. Also, the TMB admin also use and/or recommend them):<br />
<br />
* 3.97 beta 2 is the [[LAME]] version you need > [http://www.rarewares.org/mp3.html download the LAME 3.97 beta 2 bundle from this page]<br />
<br />
* Use the '-V 2 --vbr-new' switch <br />
** This will create variable bitrate files (vbr)<br />
<br />
* The BEST way to rip CDs to mp3 is with [http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/ EAC].<br />
* The following three [http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/ EAC] guides are very good: <br />
[http://users.pandora.be/satcp/eac-qs-en.htm Guide 1 - The Coaster Factory]<br />
[http://www.teqnilogik.com/tutorials/eac.htm Guide 2 - Teqnilogik]<br />
[http://home.tiscali-business.be/~tpm54044/index.htm Guide 3 - Essential Ripping Guide]<br />
<br />
* The easiest way to convert WAVs to MP3 is with: [http://members.home.nl/w.speek/all2lame.htm ALL2LAME] or [http://rarewares.org/mp3.html LameDropXPd v2]<br />
<br />

[[Category:Audio Formats]]</div>Ooveshttps://wiki.themixingbowl.org/index.php?title=MP2&diff=2085MP22006-07-02T22:55:55Z<p>Ooves: Added audacity and SoX</p>
<hr />
<div>'''MP2''' (sometimes also called Musicam) is short for '''MPEG-1 Audio Layer II'''. MP2 files usually have an extension of .mp2 but sometimes .mpa is used instead. MP2 has largely been superseded by [[MP3]] (MPEG-1 Audio Layer III) for file sharing and CD ripping, but it remains a dominant standard for audio broadcasting in Europe as part of the [[DAB]] digital radio and [[DVB]] digital television standards.<br />
<br />
==Why use MP2?==<br />
<br />
MP3 should provide superior sound quality to MP2 at the same bitrate so there is no reason to use it for CD ripping or encoding from analogue sources. However since MP2 is the audio format used in DAB and DVB in the UK, the best way to record from these is to use some method to capture the MP2 audio stream straight to disk (e.g. using PCI DVB card). An MP2 created like this will provide a ''perfect'' copy of the original broadcast.<br />
<br />
==Playback==<br />
<br />
===Software playback===<br />
<br />
The MPEG-1 specifications say that a MP3 decoder must be able to decode Layer I & II too, so any MP3 player should play MP2 files. MP2 support is probably even wider then MP3 support since it is the audio format used in .mpg files too.<br />
<br />
===Hardware playback===<br />
<br />
In theory all hardware MP3 players should be able to play MP2, but in practice this does not always seem to be the case. Some have no problems playing MP2 files (even if this isn't mentioned anywhere in the players specifications), some will only play them if you give it an .mp3 extension, and others won't play them at all.<br />
<br />
If your hardware player only plays MP2 files with an .mp3 extension it might be worth asking the manufacturer if this could be fixed with a firmware update. Try to remember to rename it back to .mp2 before sharing it again, as there are some technical differences between MP2 and MP3 that mean things like ReplayGain only work with real MP3 files. Using a double extension like (e.g. radio_mix.mp2.mp3) might help you remember.<br />
<br />
===Tagging===<br />
<br />
MP2 files can be tagged like MP3 files.<br />
<br />
==Conversion==<br />
<br />
===Converting to MP3===<br />
<br />
A guide to converting to MP3 can be found here:<br />
<br />
* http://www.rocketknight.com/alexp/?page_id=9<br />
<br />
Remember that converting from MP2 to MP3 (or any other lossy format) will always result in a (small) loss of quality, so it's best to only convert when you have a really good reason to do so.<br />
<br />
To convert mp2 files to mp3, you'll need to use the [http://homepage.ntlworld.com/alex.pheysey/files/lame3.97b2exe-fixed.zip lame3.97b2exe-fixed.zip] compile, as it correctly accepts mp2 input for decoding.<br />
<br />
==Editing==<br />
<br />
MP2 files can be losslessly cut and trimmed using:<br />
* [[Audacity]]<br />
* [http://mpesch3.de1.cc/ mp3DirectCut]<br />
* [http://mp3splt.sourceforge.net/ mp3Splt]<br />
* [[SoX]]<br />
