Constant bitrate and position information in the headers

[tiborepcek]

In this issue for AntennaPod, i am asking for help with MP3 file joined with MP3Cat.

One of developer answered: "The problem is that MP3Cat seems to use a variable bitrate and also does not include position information in the headers."

Can you do something about it?

Thank you.

If you use variable bitrate input files the output file will also be variable bitrate. The only way to transform VBR input into CBR output is to re-encode the files using something like ffmpeg.

Adding position information to the headers is beyond the scope of this project I'm afraid. I'd recommend using CBR files instead if you have the option.

I understand. In this case, i wanted avoid to use ffmpeg and was seeking something smaller in size (62 MB ffmpeg.exe vs. 2,5 MB mp3cat.exe) and functionality. But now i see, that it is not so easy task. :)

Anyhow, thank you again for your work. I really appreciate it.
