<h2>Introduction</h2>
tooLAME is an optimized Mpeg Audio 1/2 Layer 2 encoder. It is based heavily on
<UL>
<LI>the ISO dist10 code
<LI>improvement to algorithms as part of the LAME project (www.sulaco.org/mp3)
<LI>work by myself and other contributors (see CONTRIBUTORS)
</ul>
<h2>Installation</h2>
<OL>
<LI> edit Makefile (at least change the architecture type [ARCH] to suit your machine)
<LI> 'make'
</ol>
<h2>Usage</h2>
<pre>
./toolame [options] [input file] [output file]
Input File
tooLAME parses AIFF and WAV files for file info
raw PCM is assumed if no header is found
for stdin use a -
Output File
file is automatically renamed from *.* to *.mp2
for stdout use a -
Input Options
-s [int]
if inputting raw PCM sound, you must specify the sample rate
default sample rate is 44.1khz.
-a
downmix from stereo to mono
if the incoming file is stereo, combine the audio into
a single channel
-x
force byte-swapping of the input. (current endian detection is dodgy,
so if toolame produces only noise, use -x )
-g
swap the LR channels of a stereo file
Output Options
-m [char]
the encoding mode (default 'j')
's' stereo
'd' dual channel
'j' joint stereo
'm' mono
-p [int]
which psy model to use (default '1')
Different models for the psychoacoustics
Models: -1 to 4
-b [int]
the total bitrate
For 48/44.1/32kHz default = 192
For 24/22.05/16kHz default = 96
-v [int]
Switch on VBR mode.
The higher the number the better the quality.
Useful range -10 to 10.
See README.VBR for details.
Operation
-f
fast mode turns off calculation of the psychoacoustic model.
Instead a set of default values are assumed
-q [int]
quick mode calculates the psy model every 'num' frames.
Misc
-d emp
de-emphasis (default 'n')
-c
mark as copyright
-o
mark as original
-e
add error protection
-r
force padding bits off
-D
add DAB extensions
-t [int]
'talkativity' setting. 0 = no message. 3 = too much information
(-t 20 will probably flood you off your terminal)
</pre>
<h2>Examples</h2>
<pre>
toolame sound.wav
</pre>
This will encode sound.wav to sound.mp2 using the default bitrate of 192 kbps
and using the default psychoacoustic model (model 1)</p>
<pre>
toolame -p 2 -v 5 sound.wav newfile.mp2
</pre>
Encode sound.wav to newfile.mp2 using psychoacoustic model 2 and encoding
with variable bitrate. The high value of the "-v" argument means that
the encoding will tend to favour higher bitrates.</p>
<pre>
toolame -p 2 -v -5 sound.wav newfile.mp2
</pre>
Same as example above, except that the negative value of the "-v" argument
means that the lower bitrates will be favoured over the higher ones.</p>
<pre>
cat sound.raw | toolame -s 22050 -f -b 96 - newfile.mp2
</pre>
Toolame is encoding from stdin at a bitrate of 96kbps and is using the
'fast' mode which means that no psychoacoustic modelling is done. The
input file is raw pcm so the sample rate needs to be specified (22050Hz)</p>
