About: MAD is a high-quality MPEG audio decoder capable of 24-bit output. All
computations are performed with fixed-point integer arithmetic, making it
ideal for systems without a floating-point unit. The implementation is
entirely new, based on the ISO/IEC standards. The code consists of a
library (libmad), a command-line front-end (madplay), and a plug-in for
Winamp.
Changes: A new ID3 tag manipulation library has been implemented, with support for
ID3v1, ID3v1.1, ID3v2.2, ID3v2.3, and ID3v2.4. Portability of the code has
been improved, and MSVC++ project files are now included. A new dithering
algorithm has been implemented, which may produce better audio quality.
Keyboard controls are now supported in madplay. Other fixes include a
possible segfault in madplay.
Release focus: Major feature enhancements

Changes: Renaming the ID3 library to libid3tag (enabling it to be installed), shared
libraries use proper libtool versioning instead of release numbering, and
fixes for some NetBSD and FreeBSD audio compatibility issues.

Changes: Three new audio output modules in madplay (cdda, aiff, and esd), new
--bit-depth (for selecting the output resolution) and --ignore-crc (for
playing streams with bad CRCs) options, support in Win32 builds for
keyboard controls, and removal of dependency on Cygwin DLLs.
