mp3guessenc is based upon the original project by Naoki Shibata. This command line utility was born to detect the encoder used for a mpeg layer III file but now it can do more and scan any mpeg audio file (any layer) and print a LOT of useful information. Latest modifications include fixes, new features and code optimizations.

Features

  • scan mpeg 1/2/2.5 streams, layer I/II/III
  • guess encoder used (lame/gogo/xing/helix/fhg(new, old and ancient)/blade)
  • detect also mp3pro and mp3surround streams (even with OFL)
  • support for large files (up to 2^60 bytes!)
  • free format streams supported
  • full statistics for the stream (audio mode, frame histogram, block usage, ancillary data)
  • crc16 verification
  • vbr tags by xing/lame + VBRI tag by fhg
  • detection of ID3 v1/v2 + APE tags + Lyrics3 tags + MusicMatch tag
  • verify integrity of lame tag

    Congratulations on the project. Just missing a GUI. Can tell if someone is developing; Could you suggest any? Thank you in advance for your attention.

    Thank you, I don't know if it's the GUI you're looking for but there is Specton ( github.com/standard-error/specton ) which uses data collected from mp3guessenc.
