Detailed Description

An AudioFormat class which can use an installed version of the LAME mp3 encoder to encode a file.

This format can't read MP3s, it just writes them. Internally, the AudioFormatWriter object that is returned writes the incoming audio data to a temporary WAV file, and then when the writer is deleted, it invokes the LAME executable to convert the data to an MP3, whose data is then piped into the original OutputStream that was used when first creating the writer.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ LAMEEncoderAudioFormat()

juce::LAMEEncoderAudioFormat::LAMEEncoderAudioFormat ( const File lameExecutableToUse)

Creates a LAMEEncoderAudioFormat that expects to find a working LAME executable at the location given.

◆ ~LAMEEncoderAudioFormat()

juce::LAMEEncoderAudioFormat::~LAMEEncoderAudioFormat ( )

Member Function Documentation

◆ canDoMono()

bool juce::LAMEEncoderAudioFormat::canDoMono ( )
virtual

Returns true if the format can do 1-channel audio.

Implements juce::AudioFormat.

◆ canDoStereo()

bool juce::LAMEEncoderAudioFormat::canDoStereo ( )
virtual

Returns true if the format can do 2-channel audio.

Implements juce::AudioFormat.

◆ canHandleFile()

bool juce::LAMEEncoderAudioFormat::canHandleFile ( const File fileToTest)
virtual

Returns true if this the given file can be read by this format.

Subclasses shouldn't do too much work here, just check the extension or file type. The base class implementation just checks the file's extension against one of the ones that was registered in the constructor.

Reimplemented from juce::AudioFormat.

◆ createMemoryMappedReader() [1/2]

virtual MemoryMappedAudioFormatReader* juce::AudioFormat::createMemoryMappedReader ( const File file)
virtualinherited

Attempts to create a MemoryMappedAudioFormatReader, if possible for this format.

If the format does not support this, the method will return nullptr;

Reimplemented in juce::WavAudioFormat, and juce::AiffAudioFormat.

◆ createMemoryMappedReader() [2/2]

virtual MemoryMappedAudioFormatReader* juce::AudioFormat::createMemoryMappedReader ( FileInputStream fin)
virtualinherited

◆ createReaderFor()

AudioFormatReader* juce::LAMEEncoderAudioFormat::createReaderFor ( InputStream sourceStream,
bool  deleteStreamIfOpeningFails 
)
virtual

Tries to create an object that can read from a stream containing audio data in this format.

The reader object that is returned can be used to read from the stream, and should then be deleted by the caller.

Parameters
sourceStreamthe stream to read from - the AudioFormatReader object that is returned will delete this stream when it no longer needs it.
deleteStreamIfOpeningFailsif no reader can be created, this determines whether this method should delete the stream object that was passed-in. (If a valid reader is returned, it will always be in charge of deleting the stream, so this parameter is ignored)

AudioFormatReader

Implements juce::AudioFormat.

◆ createWriterFor() [1/2]

AudioFormatWriter* juce::LAMEEncoderAudioFormat::createWriterFor ( OutputStream streamToWriteTo,
double  sampleRateToUse,
unsigned int  numberOfChannels,
int  bitsPerSample,
const StringPairArray metadataValues,
int  qualityOptionIndex 
)
virtual

Tries to create an object that can write to a stream with this audio format.

The writer object that is returned can be used to write to the stream, and should then be deleted by the caller.

If the stream can't be created for some reason (e.g. the parameters passed in here aren't suitable), this will return nullptr.

Parameters
streamToWriteTothe stream that the data will go to - this will be deleted by the AudioFormatWriter object when it's no longer needed. If no AudioFormatWriter can be created by this method, the stream will NOT be deleted, so that the caller can re-use it to try to open a different format, etc
sampleRateToUsethe sample rate for the file, which must be one of the ones returned by getPossibleSampleRates()
numberOfChannelsthe number of channels - this must be either 1 or 2, and the choice will depend on the results of canDoMono() and canDoStereo()
bitsPerSamplethe bits per sample to use - this must be one of the values returned by getPossibleBitDepths()
metadataValuesa set of metadata values that the writer should try to write to the stream. Exactly what these are depends on the format, and the subclass doesn't actually have to do anything with them if it doesn't want to. Have a look at the specific format implementation classes to see possible values that can be used
qualityOptionIndexthe index of one of compression qualities returned by the getQualityOptions() method. If there aren't any quality options for this format, just pass 0 in this parameter, as it'll be ignored

◆ createWriterFor() [2/2]

virtual AudioFormatWriter* juce::AudioFormat::createWriterFor ( OutputStream streamToWriteTo,
double  sampleRateToUse,
const AudioChannelSet channelLayout,
int  bitsPerSample,
const StringPairArray metadataValues,
int  qualityOptionIndex 
)
virtualinherited

Tries to create an object that can write to a stream with this audio format.

The writer object that is returned can be used to write to the stream, and should then be deleted by the caller.

If the stream can't be created for some reason (e.g. the parameters passed in here aren't suitable), this will return nullptr.

Parameters
streamToWriteTothe stream that the data will go to - this will be deleted by the AudioFormatWriter object when it's no longer needed. If no AudioFormatWriter can be created by this method, the stream will NOT be deleted, so that the caller can re-use it to try to open a different format, etc
sampleRateToUsethe sample rate for the file, which must be one of the ones returned by getPossibleSampleRates()
channelLayoutthe channel layout for the file. Use isChannelLayoutSupported to check if the writer supports this layout.
bitsPerSamplethe bits per sample to use - this must be one of the values returned by getPossibleBitDepths()
metadataValuesa set of metadata values that the writer should try to write to the stream. Exactly what these are depends on the format, and the subclass doesn't actually have to do anything with them if it doesn't want to. Have a look at the specific format implementation classes to see possible values that can be used
qualityOptionIndexthe index of one of compression qualities returned by the getQualityOptions() method. If there aren't any quality options for this format, just pass 0 in this parameter, as it'll be ignored

AudioFormatWriter

Reimplemented in juce::WavAudioFormat.

◆ getFileExtensions()

virtual StringArray juce::AudioFormat::getFileExtensions ( ) const
virtualinherited

Returns all the file extensions that might apply to a file of this format.

The first item will be the one that's preferred when creating a new file. So for a wav file this might just return ".wav"; for an AIFF file it might return two items, ".aif" and ".aiff"

◆ getFormatName()

const String& juce::AudioFormat::getFormatName ( ) const
inherited

Returns the name of this format.

e.g. "WAV file" or "AIFF file"

◆ getPossibleBitDepths()

Array<int> juce::LAMEEncoderAudioFormat::getPossibleBitDepths ( )
virtual

Returns a set of bit depths that the format can read and write.

Implements juce::AudioFormat.

◆ getPossibleSampleRates()

Array<int> juce::LAMEEncoderAudioFormat::getPossibleSampleRates ( )
virtual

Returns a set of sample rates that the format can read and write.

Implements juce::AudioFormat.

◆ getQualityOptions()

StringArray juce::LAMEEncoderAudioFormat::getQualityOptions ( )
virtual

Returns a list of different qualities that can be used when writing.

Non-compressed formats will just return an empty array, but for something like Ogg-Vorbis or MP3, it might return a list of bit-rates, etc.

When calling createWriterFor(), an index from this array is passed in to tell the format which option is required.

Reimplemented from juce::AudioFormat.

◆ isChannelLayoutSupported()

virtual bool juce::AudioFormat::isChannelLayoutSupported ( const AudioChannelSet channelSet)
virtualinherited

Returns true if the channel layout is supported by this format.

Reimplemented in juce::WavAudioFormat.

◆ isCompressed()

bool juce::LAMEEncoderAudioFormat::isCompressed ( )
virtual

Returns true if the format uses compressed data.

Reimplemented from juce::AudioFormat.
