NAME
qmp3join - join mp3 files SYNOPSIS
qmp3join [option]... file1 file2... DESCRIPTION
qmp3join reads a list of mp3 files and joins them in one mp3 file in the specified order. some conditions must be met for the parameters of each of the files (see NOTES section). OPTIONS
-f, --force force join bypassing bit rate checks. by default, to join two files they must be both vbr (have variable bit rate) or have the same bit rate. using this option you can skip this check. -h, --help show a brief help and exit. -o <outfile>, --output=<outfile> outfile is the name of the file where all the frames will be copied. if this option is not used, the frames from the second to the last file of the list will be appended to file1. -v, --verbose show which operations are done. -V, --version show version and exit. NOTES
(all) the following parameters are required to be common for two mp3 files to be joined: [fill this!!!]. also, about the bit rate parame- ter, both mp3 must have the same value or (both) must have a variable bit rate. this restriction would be by-passable with the --force flag. before joining, all the streams are tested for validity. this is a time consuming operation. in any case, qmp3join can be viewed like a better but restrictive cat for mp3 files, due to the mp3 file format characteristics. BUGS
tests have been done only with mpeg version 1 layer iii streams, though it may (or not) work with other versions/layers. AUTHOR

NORMALIZE-MP3(1)					      General Commands Manual						  NORMALIZE-MP3(1)

NAME
normalize-mp3 - adjust levels of mp3 or ogg files by running normalize-audio(1), then re-encoding SYNOPSIS
normalize-mp3 [OPTION]... [FILE]... normalize-ogg [OPTION]... [FILE]... DESCRIPTION
Normalize volume of mp3 or ogg files by decoding, running normalize, and re-encoding. This requires as much extra disk space as the largest mp3 or ogg file, decoded. Note that for batch and mix mode, all files must be decoded, so there must be enough disk space for the decoded copies of all specified mp3 and ogg files. --ogg Convert files to OGG, regardless of original format --mp3 Convert files to MP3, regardless of original format --bitrate BR Set bitrate of re-encoded file (default 128) --tmpdir TMP Put temporary WAV files in temp directory TMP --notags Do not copy ID3 or OGG tags to the output file The following four options may be used to set the encoder and decoder commands for mp3 and ogg vorbis. %m is expanded to the name of the mp3 or vorbis file, %w expands to the name of the temporary WAV file, and %b expands to the bitrate, as specified by the --bitrate option. Run normalize-mp3 with no arguments to see the default values. --mp3encode=X mp3 encoder --mp3decode=X mp3 decoder --oggencode=X ogg vorbis encoder --oggdecode=X ogg vorbis decoder -h Display this help and exit. -V Display version information and exit. These arguments are passed as arguments to normalize-audio. Run "normalize-audio --help" for more info. -a AMP -g ADJ -n -T THR -b -m -v -q REPORTING BUGS Report bugs to <chrisvaill@gmail.com>.
