mp3 read and write matlab code

function [Y,FS,NBITS,OPTS] = mp3read(FILE,N,MONO,DOWNSAMP,DELAY)
% MP3READ   Read MP3 audio file via use of external binaries.
%   Y = MP3READ(FILE) reads an mp3-encoded audio file into the
%     vector Y just like wavread reads a wav-encoded file (one channel 
%     per column).  Extension ".mp3" is added if FILE has none.
%     Also accepts other formats of wavread, such as
%   Y = MP3READ(FILE,N) to read just the first N sample frames (N
%     scalar), or the frames from N(1) to N(2) if N is a two-element vector.  
%   Y = MP3READ(FILE,FMT) or Y = mp3read(FILE,N,FMT) 
%     with FMT as 'native' returns int16 samples instead of doubles; 
%     FMT can be 'double' for default behavior (to exactly mirror the
%     syntax of wavread).
%
%   [Y,FS,NBITS,OPTS] = MP3READ(FILE...) returns extra information:
%     FS is the sampling rate,  NBITS is the bit depth (always 16), 
%     OPTS.fmt is a format info string; OPTS has multiple other
%     fields, see WAVREAD.
%
%   SIZ = MP3READ(FILE,'size') returns the size of the audio data contained
%     in the file in place of the actual audio data, returning the
%     2-element vector SIZ=[samples channels].
%
%   [Y...] = MP3READ(FILE,N,MONO,DOWNSAMP,DELAY) extends the
%     WAVREAD syntax to allow access to special features of the
%     mpg123 engine:  MONO = 1 forces output to be mono (by
%     averaging stereo channels); DOWNSAMP = 2 or 4 downsamples by 
%     a factor of 2 or 4 (thus FS returns as 22050 or 11025
%     respectively for a 44 kHz mp3 file); DELAY controls how many
%     "warm up" samples to drop at the start of the file; the
%     default value of 2257 makes an mp3write/mp3read loop for a 44
%     kHz mp3 file be as close as possible to being temporally
%     aligned; specify as 0 to prevent discard of initial samples.
%
%   [Y...] = MP3READ(URL...)  uses the built-in network
%     functionality of mpg123 to read an MP3 file across the
%     network.  URL must be of the form 'http://...' or
%     'ftp://...'.  'size' and OPTS are not available in this mode.
%
%   Example:
%   To read an mp3 file as doubles at its original width and sampling rate:
%     [Y,FS] = mp3read('piano.mp3');
%   To read the first 1 second of the same file, downsampled by a
%   factor of 4, cast to mono, using the default filename
%   extension:
%     [Y,FS4] = mp3read('piano', FS/4, 1, 4);
%
%   Note: Because the mp3 format encodes samples in blocks of 26 ms (at
%   44 kHz), and because of the "warm up" period of the encoder,
%   the file length may not be exactly what you expect.
%
%   Note: requires external binaries mpg123 and mp3info; you
%   can find binaries for several platforms at:
%     http://labrosa.ee.columbia.edu/matlab/mp3read.html
%
%   See also mp3write, wavread.

% 2003-07-20 [e-mail]  This version calls mpg123.
% 2004-08-31 Fixed to read whole files correctly
% 2004-09-08 Uses mp3info to get info about mp3 files too
% 2004-09-18 Reports all mp3info fields in OPTS.fmt; handles MPG2LSF sizes
%            + added MONO, DOWNSAMP flags, changed default behavior.
% 2005-09-28 Fixed bug reading full-rate stereo as 1ch (thx [e-mail])
% 2006-09-17 Chop off initial 2257 sample delay (for 44.1 kHz mp3)
%            so read-write loop doesn't get progressively delayed.
%            You can suppress this with a 5th argument of 0.
% 2007-02-04 Added support for FMT argument to match wavread
%            Added automatic selection of binary etc. to allow it
%            to work cross-platform without editing prior to
%            submitting to Matlab File Exchange
% 2007-07-23 Tweaks to 'size' mode so it exactly agrees with read data.
% 2009-03-15 Added fixes so 'http://...' file URLs will work.
