@@ -29,22 +29,21 @@ just to listen to the audio tracks. You can use it for anything you want
(it's licensed WTFPL, so that means *anything*).
Q4. Why is there no '-f mp3' option?
-A4. Because I use libsndfile to write the audio files, and its developer
-has chosen not to include mp3 support. If you really need mp3 (if ogg and/or
-flac just won't satisfy you), you can always convert to wav and use any
-mp3 converter (lame, ffmpeg, etc). Someday I may actually add lame support
-to miragextract, but don't hold your breath.

Q5. Why do my extracted audio tracks sound like white noise?
A5. Try the -s flag. If you're on a big-endian platform and you have this
issue, I'd like to hear from you (email address found in README).
-Q6. This track01.iso I just extracted isn't an ISO, it's a Macintosh DMG.
-How come it's got .iso in the filename?
-A6. There's no way for miragextract to tell what type of image a data
-track actually contains. Adding support for this would be possible,
-but it's not there yet. Currently, the file will get called .iso because
-that's what most images contain. Just rename it if it's wrong.
+Q6. This track01.iso I just extracted isn't an ISO, it's something
+else. How come it's got .iso in the filename?
+A6. Just rename it. miragextract doesn't have extensive file-type checking.
+Currently, if it looks like an Apple disk image, it'll get named .dmg,
+otherwise it's assumed to be a .iso.
Q7. I built a static binary of miragextract, but it fails (or still requires
shared libraries). Why?
