MPEG Audio Decoder (MAD) is a GPL library to decode files that have been encoded with an MPEG audio codec, written by Robert Leslie^[1] and produced by Underbit Technologies. It was developed as a new implementation, on the ISO/IEC standards.^[2]

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^[2]^[3]^[4] while madplay is notable for its ReplayGain support.
