Hi all...

I am trying to find a program and also its source to convert mp2 audio files to mp3 audio files in Linux environment. If anyone help me in this subject, I would appreciate it.. By the way If anyone knows about lame and ffmpeg and differences of them, pls explain. I mean performance and quickness etc.

Thanks a lot..

LAME'll do. Note: You'll loose quality even if the target mp3 is of a higher bitrate. So: Don't do it unless you have a good reason.

lame --mp2input soandso.mp2 soandso.mp3

Thanks a lot. And Do you know anything about the streaming tools for example: VideoLan, Ffserver and Mpeg for IP? I need mostly the comparison of them( What is the differences between them? )

Because, I am working on a project for streaming mpeg-4 video and mp3 audio on the internet and want to know that which tool can give me best performance and quality?

Any help would be appreciated...

btw, mp3 is backward-compatible, so if the target bitrate isn't an issue, you could simply rename the mp2 to mp3 and get away with it.

*note* i haven't tested this . i know winamp and foobar are cool with it, but they're not exactly reference mp3 implemetations.

Ummm... not really. I recall using some programs that complain when they read MP2 files renamed as ".mp3".

Adobe Audition is one of them...

try this

for me is one of the best

Well, we can only play tin this way. But what i really need is compress mp2 as mp3. So the bitrate is important.

Hi Cryon..

I think this is another alternative to ffmpeg and lame. I ll have a look at it.

Thanks...
