NAME
mp3wrap — Utility for mp3 wrapping
SYNOPSIS
mp3wrap [options] OUTPUTFILE f1.mp3 f2.mp3 [f3.mp3]...
DESCRIPTION
Mp3Wrap is a free command-line utility, which wraps two or more mp3 files in one large playable file, without losing filename and ID3 information. It’s useful to make large files easy to download on internet and then easy to split again in few seconds. You can split original files using mp3splt: http://mp3splt.sourceforge.net
Mp3Wrap will create a file named: OUTPUTFILE_MP3WRAP.mp3. It’s important you don’t remove the MP3WRAP string, because this will tell the split program Mp3Splt that the file is wrapped and can be split just with -w option. There is also the possibility to specify a custom extension to created file (such as "OUTPUTFILE - MP3WRAP - wrapped by me.mp3"). This can be done using config file (see below), just adding the line "EXT=my ext.mp3" into it. Note that your custom extension must contain MP3WRAP string anywhere, otherwise program will add it by itself.
Mp3Wrap will also add to the file a ID3v2 containing information on how to split the file; you can change Title and Album tags but PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THE COMMENT.
OPTIONS
|

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.
