Its homepage describes it as a free, open-source alternative to AlbumWrap: it joins two or more MP3 files into one playable MP3 without decoding or re-encoding, while preserving enough filename and index information for extraction. ### Project history The program's format and workflow are tied to mp3splt. A wrapped file is conventionally named with an MP3WRAP marker, carries ID3v2 information used by split tools, and can be restored into original tracks with mp3splt's wrap mode. Mp3Wrap also supports listing the contents of a wrapped file, appending files to an existing archive, and embedding non-MP3 side files such as playlists, text notes, or cover images. ### How it is used Its package-manager role is historical but clear: it represents an early-2000s way to distribute album-length MP3 bundles as a single download while keeping track boundaries recoverable. That use case overlaps with AlbumWrap and archive-based distribution habits, but Mp3Wrap remains useful when encountering old MP3WRAP albums or creating compatible bundles for mp3splt. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** mp3wrap - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** yes - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Debian apt - mp3wrap - 0.5-4.1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: mp3wrap from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | Utility for MP3 wrapping (rolling multiple MP3s into one) | https://mp3wrap.sourceforge.net/ - Ubuntu apt - mp3wrap - 0.5-4build1: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: mp3wrap from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | Utility for MP3 wrapping (rolling multiple MP3s into one) | http://mp3wrap.sourceforge.net/ - MacPorts - mp3wrap: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: audio/mp3wrap/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://pkg.so/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Media and graphics packages](https://pkg.so/media-graphics-tools/) - Matched media, image, audio, video, or graphics metadata. - [Homebrew utility packages](https://pkg.so/brew-utility-packages/) - Matched Homebrew package provider. - [easy-tag](https://pkg.so/brew/easy-tag/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: audio, cli, media, mp3. - [abcde](https://pkg.so/brew/abcde/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: audio, cli, media, mp3. - [mp3gain](https://pkg.so/brew/mp3gain/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: audio, cli, media, mp3. - [mp3info](https://pkg.so/brew/mp3info/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: audio, cli, media, mp3. - [ebook2cw](https://pkg.so/brew/ebook2cw/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: audio, cli, media, mp3. - [normalize](https://pkg.so/brew/normalize/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: audio, cli, media, mp3. - [mp3cat](https://pkg.so/brew/mp3cat/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: audio, cli, media, mp3. - [mp3check](https://pkg.so/brew/mp3check/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: audio, cli, media, mp3. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
