+MAD is a high-quality MPEG audio decoder. It currently supports MPEG-1
+as well as the MPEG-2 extension to Lower Sampling Frequencies. All
+three audio layers (Layer I, Layer II, and Layer III a.k.a. MP3) are
+fully implemented.
+
+MAD does not yet support MPEG-2 multichannel audio (although it should
+be backward compatible with such streams) or AAC, nor does it support
+the so-called MPEG 2.5 format.
+
+MAD has the following special features:
+
+ - 24-bit PCM output
+ - 100% fixed-point (integer) computation
+ - completely new implementation based on the ISO/IEC standards
+ - distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL)
+
+The software is distributed as a library (libmad) and command-line
+front-end (madplay).
