MP3WRAP(1)

💖 MP3WRAP 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for mp3wrap, from the General Commands Manual section 1. it's giving "tiny utility, huge main character energy" and i'm obsessed. let's get into it 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

mp3wrap — the utility for mp3 wrapping, periodt.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mp3wrap [options]  OUTPUTFILE  f1.mp3  f2.mp3  [f3.mp3]...

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Mp3Wrap is a free command-line utility that wraps two or more mp3 files into one big playable file — and the way it does it without losing filename and ID3 info?? literally iconic. 💅

it's useful for making large files easy to download on the internet, and then easy to split again in a few seconds. you can split the original files using mp3splt:

http://mp3splt.sourceforge.net

Mp3Wrap will create a file named:

OUTPUTFILE_MP3WRAP.mp3

IMPORTANT bestie — do NOT remove the MP3WRAP string. it's the whole reason the split program Mp3Splt knows the file is wrapped and can be split just with the -w option. no cap.

there's also the possibility to specify a custom extension for the created file (something like "OUTPUTFILE - MP3WRAP - wrapped by me.mp3"). you do this using the config file (see below), just adding this line into it:

EXT=my ext.mp3

note that your custom extension must contain the MP3WRAP string anywhere in it, otherwise the program will add it by itself. it's got your back like that. 🫶

Mp3Wrap will also add to the file an ID3v2 containing information on how to split the file. you can change the Title and Album tags but PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THE COMMENT. seriously. that comment is load-bearing. 😭

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -a — add specified files to an existing Mp3Wrap file. the files are appended and the index is updated. it's the "wait, there's more" option 🍓
• -l — list all files wrapped into a Mp3Wrap file. it doesn't extract anything, it just tells you what's inside. a lil peek, no touching 👀
• -v — verbose mode. Mp3Wrap will display additional information on the process, and when you use the list option (-l) it will show many extra infos on the wrapped files. she's chatty and we love her 💖

---

🌈 CONFIGURATION FILE 🌈

for the Linux version, valid configuration files are:

• ~/.mp3wrap (in home directory)
• .mp3wrap (in the dir you are in that moment)

for the WIN32 version:

• PROG_DIR/mp3wrap.ini (dir where mp3wrap.exe is)
• mp3wrap.ini (in the dir you are in that moment)

💜 FILE FORMAT 💜

the file consists of key-value pairs in the form:

KEY=value

where key contains no whitespace and no equal signs. value will be all of the text after the equal sign until (but not including) the ending newline.

beware of extra spaces at the end of the line! they will probably be interpreted as part of the option value. sneaky little gremlins 🙈

valid option keys are:

• EXT — the extension mp3wrap will append to created files.

here is an example:

EXT=_MP3WRAP_wrapped by me.mp3

🌟 EXAMPLES 🌟

mp3wrap album.mp3 file1.mp3 file2.mp3 file3.mp3 file4.mp3

mp3wrap -v album.mp3 file*.mp3

mp3wrap -a album.mp3 file5.mp3 file6.mp3

mp3wrap -l album.mp3

mp3wrap -lv album.mp3

look at that range. vers. ⭐
