minimp3
A minimalistic, single-header MP3 decoder library focused on small size, speed, and ISO conformance.
What is minimp3?
minimp3 is a minimalistic, single-header MP3 decoder library written in C. It decodes MP3 audio streams into PCM samples with a focus on small code size, high performance through SIMD optimizations, and strict ISO conformance. It solves the need for a lightweight, portable decoder that can be easily embedded in applications without heavy dependencies.
Developers working on embedded systems, games, or applications where audio decoding is needed with minimal memory and binary footprint, such as those using C/C++ in resource-constrained environments.
Developers choose minimp3 for its combination of minimalism, correctness, and speed. Unlike other minimal decoders, it supports free format, passes conformance tests, and includes SIMD optimizations, all while maintaining a tiny codebase that's easy to integrate.
