💖 freeaptxdec 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is a whole moment. this is freeaptxdec, a User Commands legend, and it's the aptX decoder utility you didn't know you needed. it's giving "tiny program, huge main character energy." 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

freeaptxdec — aptX decoder utility 🎧

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

freeaptxdec [options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: this utility decodes an aptX or aptX HD audio stream from stdin to a raw 24 bit signed stereo on stdout. that's it. that's the whole job. it literally just pipes sound through and slays while doing it. 💅

when the input is damaged, it doesn't panic — it tries to synchronize and recover. resilient queen behavior, honestly. 🫶

a non-zero return value means the input was damaged and some bytes from the input aptX audio stream were dropped. so if you see a non-zero exit status, that's not a drill — bytes literally fell off the truck. 😭

💜 OPTIONS 💜

the program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (-). a summary of options is included below. so fancy, so classic. ✨

  • -h, --help — displays this help. your bestie when you forget what you're doing. 💖
  • --hd — decode from aptX HD. the glow-up version. 👑

💀 BUGS 💀

the upstream BTS can be found at https://github.com/iamthehorker/libfreeaptx/issues/new.

yes bestie, if something's busted, that's where you go. the horker awaits. 🙈
