function mp3write(varargin)
%MP3WRITE Write MP3 (".mp3") sound file.
%    MP3WRITE(Y,FS,NBITS,MP3FILE,ENCODING) writes data Y to a MP3
%    file specified by the file name MP3FILE, with a sample rate
%    of FS Hz and with NBITS number of bits. Stereo data should 
%    be specified as a matrix with two columns. 
%    ENCODING must be specified as an integer number from 1 to 5
% 
%   1 = Fixed bit rate 128kbs encoding.
%   2 = Fixed bit rate jstereo 128kbs encoding, high quality (recommended).
%   3 = Average bit rate 112kbs encoding.
%   4 = Fast encode, low quality.
%   5 = Variable bitrate.
%
%   Y,FS and NBITS are mandatory fields. If MP3FILE is not defined the file
%   name will be 'Default_name.mp3'. If ENCODING is not defined encoding
%   type '2' will be used by deault.
%
%    See also MP3READ, WAVREAD, WAVWRITE.
