It consists of libmad, a software library, and madplay, a command-line program for MP3 playback. libmad is notable for using only fixed-point arithmetic[3][4][5] while madplay is notable for its ReplayGain support.

Development ended decades ago, and vulnerabilities identified since then have gone unpatched.[6][7][8]
