  Description     : lossless rearranger of MP3 files to make them smaller

MP3packer is a program which attempts to save space of MP3 files by
storing frame data in the smallest possible frame.

By default, the program generates the smallest MP3 possible (with the
least padding), transforming Constant Bitrate (CBR) files in Variable
Bitrate (VBR) files.  With files generated by the LAME MP3 encoder with
"--preset insane", it can result in saving of up to 10% in size,
losslessly.

Furthermore, it can turn VBR files into CBR for use with players which
don't support VBR.
