Maaate

MPEG audio analysis toolkit

MPEG Maaate (pronounce: ma:a:it) is a C++ toolkit to parse and analyse audio data in the compressed domain by analysing MPEG-1/2 Layers 1-3 audio files. It makes the encoded fields of an MPEG audio stream accessible (tier1) and provides some content analysis functions like silence detection (tier2). MPEG Maaate is designed in tiers: the first tier implements the parsing of the MPEG audio stream, the second tier implements the content analysis on the extracted field, and the third tier includes any applications that are based on the extracted content.
