🌸 NAME 🌸

openaptxdec — aptX decoder utility 0.2.0 (using libopenaptx 0.2.0)

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so first things first: this whole thing is aptX decoder utility version 0.2.0, and it's powered by libopenaptx 0.2.0. iconic. 👑

This utility decodes an aptX or aptX HD audio stream from stdin to a raw 24 bit signed stereo on stdout. literally just vibes in, audio out. 🦋

When the input is damaged it tries to synchronize and recover — like when your friend is mid-breakdown and you're like "babe breathe, we got this". 💅

A non-zero return value indicates that the input was damaged and that some bytes from the input aptX audio stream were dropped. so yeah, check that exit code, bestie, it's giving receipts. 😭

🌈 Usage:

openaptxdec [options]

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -h, --help — Display this help. that's it, that's the whole job. 🫶
• --hd — Decode from aptX HD. high definition, highkey fancy, main character energy only. ⭐

---

🧚 EXAMPLES 🧚

here's the vibe, copy-paste ready:

openaptxdec < sample.aptx > sample.s24le

openaptxdec --hd < sample.aptxhd > sample.s24le

openaptxdec < sample.aptx | play -t raw -r 44.1k -L -e s -b 24 -c 2 -

---

ok that's the whole page bestie, go decode something gorgeous 💖
