+MP3val is a small, high-speed tool for \s-1MPEG\s0 audio files validation and
+(optionally) fixing problems. It was primarily designed for
+verification of \s-1MPEG 1\s0 Layer \s-1III \s0(\s-1MP3\s0) files, but supports also other
+\&\s-1MPEG\s0 versions and layers. It can be useful for finding corrupted files
+(e.g. incompletely downloaded).
+.PP
+MP3val supports:
+.IP "\(bu" 4
+\&\s-1MPEG\-1, 2, 2.5\s0; Layers I, \s-1II, III\s0
+.IP "\(bu" 4
+ID3v1 tags (must be at the very end of the file)
+.IP "\(bu" 4
+ID3v2 tags (must be at the very beginning of the file)

+.SS "2. Why to use it?"
+.IX Subsection "2. Why to use it?"
+\&\s-1MPEG\s0 is a streamable format, that is, it is optimized for quick and
+easy recovery from errors. \s-1MP3\s0 decoders are very tolerant to
+inconsistencies in the input file. Most players even don't report to
+user about stream errors. So, as a rule, user doesn't know whether his
+files are valid or broken. But using broken files can eventually lead
+to problems during playback on certain software/hardware.
+.PP
+MP3val can assure you that your files are consistent in the terms of
+\&\s-1MPEG\s0 frames, that is, it ensures that the file can be easily split into
+the frames and doesn't contain garbage. It checks also some other
+issues, such as track length stored in the \s-1VBR\s0 header. Checking by
+MP3val isn't a full test for compliance with existing formal and
+informal standards. MP3val neither decodes audio data nor checks for
+data validity in the frame.
+.PP
+MP3val can also fix most of the problems. Be careful: although MP3val
+can repair even files with \s-1MPEG\s0 stream errors, it is recommended that
+you find a \*(L"good\*(R" copy of this file, because a \*(L"click\*(R" sound usually
+can't be removed, the repaired file will only look like good.

+\&\fB\s-1WARNING\s0 message\fR
+.PP
+\&\fBFixable?\fR
+.PP
+\&\fBComments\fR
+.PP
+\&\fIToo few \s-1MPEG\s0 frames (it's unlikely that this is a \s-1MPEG\s0 audio file)\fR
+.PP
+\&\-
+.PP
+Probably this is not a \s-1MPEG\s0 audio file, but MP3val has detected a
+couple of \s-1MPEG\s0 frames in it. Most likely this is a false positive.
+.PP
+\&\fIGarbage at the beginning of the file\fR
+.PP
++
+.PP
+There are some unknown data at the beginning of the file (before the
+first \s-1MPEG\s0 frame). It can be an unsupported tag with metadata, but in
+most cases it is only garbage. \*(L"Fixing\*(R" means here a removal of these
+data.
+.PP
+\&\fIGarbage at the end of the file\fR
+.PP
++
+.PP
+Like previous.
+.PP
+\&\fI\s-1MPEG\s0 stream error, resynchronized successfully\fR
+.PP
++
+.PP
+Normally, each \s-1MPEG\s0 frame must be followed by a next \s-1MPEG\s0 frame (or a
+metadata block), otherwise this message is generated. \s-1MPEG\s0 stream
+errors can be caused by garbage in the middle of the file (e.g. the
+file was split into several parts, the tags were appended, and then
+these parts were improperly merged) or by a data loss during transfer
+or storage. Note that \*(L"fixing\*(R" this error will remove garbage, but in
+most cases \*(L"fixed\*(R" file will not sound better, that's why it is
+strongly recommended to find a \*(L"good\*(R" copy of the file.
+.PP
+\&\fIThis is a \s-1RIFF\s0 file, not \s-1MPEG\s0 stream\fR
+.PP
++
+.PP
+A common way for storing a \s-1MPEG\s0 audio file is simply to write \s-1MPEG\s0
+frames one-by-one. \s-1MP1/MP2/MP3\s0 files are organized so. \s-1MPEG\s0 audio data
+can also be encapsulated in the \s-1RIFF\s0 container (better known as \s-1WAV\s0
+file). The \s-1RIFF\s0 container shouldn't be used unless the file has \*(L"\s-1WAV\*(R"\s0
+extension.
+.PP
+\&\fIIt seems that file is truncated or there is garbage at the end of the
+file\fR
+.PP
++
+.PP
+This message is generated when the length of the last frame (according
+to its header) is greater than the amount of data from its beginning to
+the end of the file. As a rule, it means that the file was truncated,
+however, there can be garbage at its end. \*(L"Fixing\*(R" means here a removal
+of the last frame.
+.PP
+\&\fIWrong number of \s-1MPEG\s0 frames specified in Xing header\fR
+.PP
++
+.PP
+\&\s-1MPEG\s0 audio files don't have any special header, each frame has its own
+header instead. However, it can cause problems when \*(L"seeking\*(R" in
+variable bitrate files, because a decoder can't determine the exact
+place in the file corresponding to the selected time. That's why a \*(L"\s-1VBR\s0
+header\*(R" is sometimes included in the first \s-1MPEG\s0 frame. This message is
+generated if this header contains false information about the total
+number of \s-1MPEG\s0 frames.
+.PP
+\&\fIWrong number of \s-1MPEG\s0 data bytes specified in Xing header\fR
+.PP
++
+.PP
+This message is generated when the Xing header contains false
+information about the total size of \s-1MPEG\s0 data in the file. See the
+previous message.
+.PP
+\&\fIWrong number of \s-1MPEG\s0 frames specified in \s-1VBRI\s0 header\fR
+.PP
++
+.PP
+Like with Xing header. \s-1VBRI\s0 is the other way to store \s-1VBR\s0 information
+in the first \s-1MPEG\s0 frame, but it seems to be used much more rarely.
+.PP
+\&\fIWrong number of \s-1MPEG\s0 data bytes specified in \s-1VBRI\s0 header\fR
+.PP
++
+.PP
+Like with Xing header. \s-1VBRI\s0 is the other way to store \s-1VBR\s0 information
+in the first \s-1MPEG\s0 frame, but it seems to be used much more rarely.
+.PP
+\&\fI\s-1VBR\s0 detected, but no \s-1VBR\s0 header is present. Seeking may not work
+properly\fR
+.PP
+\&\-
+.PP
+Files encoded with \s-1VBR\s0 should have a \s-1VBR\s0 header (either Xing or \s-1VBRI\s0),
+otherwise seeking can be broken. This will be fixable in the future
+versions.
+.PP
+\&\fIWrong \s-1CRC\s0 in ... frames\fR
+.PP
++
+.PP
+Some frames in the file are protected by \s-1CRC,\s0 but the checksum is
+wrong. It means that either the file was encoded or processed by broken
+software, or it was broken during storage or transmission. MP3val
+reports a number of frames with incorrect \s-1CRC,\s0 which can be used as a
+hint (if this number equals or is about the total number of frames,
+then it's likely due to a bad encoder). Note that only a minority of
+files is protected by \s-1CRC.\s0
+.PP
+\&\fINon-layer-III frame encountered\fR
+.PP
+\&\-
+.PP
+MP3val was primarily designed for \s-1MP3\s0 files. That's why it warns about
+\&\s-1MPEG\s0 frames with layers other than \s-1III.\s0 If it is an \s-1MP2\s0 or \s-1MP1\s0 file,
+this warning should be ignored. If you want to fix this issue, you
+should reencode the file.
+.PP
+\&\fIDifferent \s-1MPEG\s0 versions or layers in one file\fR
+.PP
+\&\-
+.PP
+Mixing different \s-1MPEG\s0 versions and/or layers in one file is not very
+good. As in the previous case, this issue can be fixed only by
+reencoding.
+.PP
+\&\fISeveral APEv2 tags in one file\fR
+.PP
++
+.PP
+Normally there would be only one APEv2 tag in the file.
+.PP
+\&\fINo supported tags in the file\fR
+.PP
+\&\-
+.PP
+This is only a warning. It's a good practice to store metadata in tags.
