MAD is a high-quality MPEG audio decoder capable of 24-bit output. All computations are performed with fixed-point integer arithmetic, making it ideal for systems without a floating-point unit. The implementation is entirely new, based on the ISO/IEC standards.

Among the special features of MAD are 24-bit PCM resolution and 100% fixed-point (integer) computation.
