MP3 encoder/decoder?

[chronozphere]

Maybe it isn't such a good idea to use an encoder and decoder for this. MP3 is a lossy format, and encoding it again will have bad effects on quality. I only need a lib to read/write MP3's container format. I'll leave the individual frames intact, so no quality is lost.

I've been looking into the FFmpeg library. I think it has what I need, but there aren't any good tutorials on it.

Ah, good ol FFMpeg. I wondered if they had a lib with pascal headers?? I only knew it in the video/audio trans/en/de-coding.... Tell me if you find a good tut - dying to play with this in pascal

I wrote a small program to parse mp3 files down to frame level. Cutting the file should be just a simple matter of omitting the undesired frames, but I haven't tried it. I hope it'll be helpful: http://imcold.evilhosting.org/files/mp3parse.pas.html

Thanks. may come in handy.

I've found some FFmpeg headers here

I have no interest in writing MP3's, however i'd like to use them with OpenAL that i'm exploring. There was a sample application with mpg123 but i wasn't able to find pascal header to it in any of the links in below (mpg123.pas):
