MPEG-1 Audio Layer II (MP2) is a lossy audio compression format standardized by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). It primarily serves as a standard for digital audio broadcasting and television transmission, historically functioning as the direct predecessor to the widely adopted MP3 format. While largely superseded by newer codecs for consumer applications, it remains active in professional broadcast environments and poses minimal security risks as a non-executable media container.

const signature = Buffer.from([0xFF, 0xF2]);
return buffer.subarray(0, 2).equals(signature);
}
Go
func IsMP2(data []byte) bool {
signature := []byte{0xFF, 0xF2}
if len(data) < 2 {
return false
}
return bytes.Equal(data[:2], signature)
