SYNOPSIS

mppenc [--options] [input_file] [output_file]

DESCRIPTION

mppenc is a Musepack lossy audio codec encoder. Musepack is a lossy audio codec
specifically optimized for transparent compression of stereo audio at bitrates of 160-180
kbit/s.

INPUT FILES

- STDIN (only RIFF WAVE files)

/dev/audio
soundcard (OSS, 44.1 kHz)

*.wav RIFF WAVE file

*.raw|cdr
RAW PCM file (2ch, 16bit, 44.1kHz)

*.pac|lpac
LPAC file (Windows only)

*.fla|flac
FLAC file

*.ape Monkey's Audio file (APE extension only)

*.rka|rkau
RK Audio file (Windows only)

*.sz SZIP file

*.shn Shorten file

Currently only 32, 37.8, 44.1 and 48 kHz, 1-8 channels, 8-32 bit linear PCM is supported.
When using one of the lossless compressed formats, a proper binary must be installed
within the system's $PATH.

OUTPUT FILES

*.mpc Musepack file

*.mp+|mpp
MPEGplus file (deprecated)

- STDOUT
