Snd is a sound editor modeled loosely after Emacs and an old, sorely-missed PDP-10 sound editor named Dpysnd. It can accommodate any number of sounds, each with any number of channels, and can be customized and extended using Guile, Ruby or Forth. Included with it are some command-line utilities: - snd-info (note: renamed from sndinfo, for this FreeBSD port) prints a description of a sound file. - sndplay plays a sound file. - sndrecord records sound from a microphone. - audinfo describes the current state of the audio hardware.

libgpod is a shared library to access the contents of an iPod and optionally iPhone (via `comms/libimobiledevice' library port, enabled by default). This code was originally part of gtkpod itself. When the parsing code was made self-contained with gtkpod v0.93, decision was made to put this code in a separate library so that other projects can benefit from it without duplicating code. libgpod supports playlists, smart playlists, playcounts, ratings, podcasts, cover art, audio and video. Photo support is implemented as well. Python and Mono bindings are optionally available too.

Audio Tag Tool is a program to manage the information fields in MP3 and Ogg Vorbis files, commonly called tags. Tag Tool can be used to edit tags one-by-one, but the most useful features are the ability to easily tag or rename hundreds of files at once, in any desired format. Tag Tool's features include: * Tag Editor * Multiple File Tagger * Clear Tags * Move/Rename Multiple Files * Create Playlists The mass tag and mass rename features can handle filenames in any format thanks to an easily configurable format template.

[ From the WorkMan README ] WorkMan is a graphical tool for playing audio compact discs on a CD-ROM drive. It has most of the features available on standalone CD players, such as a shuffle mode, programmable playlists, and elapsed/remaining timers. But it also has extra features, foremost of which is the ability to store information about CDs in a database, then automatically extract that information when the CD is inserted later. WorkMan stores the artist's name, the disc title, the names of individual tracks, and even remembers which tracks you don't want to hear! All in an easy-to-use, attractive OPEN LOOK graphical interface.

Cantata is a QT graphical client for MPD with the following features: - Multiple MPD collections. - Highly customisable layout. - Songs grouped by album in play queue. - Context view to show artist, album, and song information of current track. - Simple tag editor. - File organizer - use tags to organize files and folders. - Ability to calculate ReplyGain tags. - Dynamic playlists. - Online services; Jamendo, Magnatune, SoundCloud, and Podcasts. - Radio stream support - search for streams via TuneIn, ShoutCast, or Dirble. - USB-Mass-Storage and MTP device support. - Audio CD ripping and playback. - Playback of non-MPD songs - via simple in-built HTTP server if connected to MPD via a standard socket, otherwise filepath is sent to MPD. - MPRISv2 DBUS interface. - Supports KDE global shortcuts, GNOME media keys, standard media keys via Qxt. - Ubuntu/ambiance theme integration - including dragging of window via toolbar. - Basic support for touch-style interface (views are made 'flickable') - Scrobbling. - Ratings support.

Basically, SIDPLAY is just an ordinary music player software. More specifically, it emulates the Sound Interface Device chip (MOS 6581, known as SID) and the Micro Processor Unit (MOS 6510) of the Commodore 64 on your computer. Its platform-independent software emulates hardware components. Therefore it is able to load and execute C64 machine code programs which produce music or sound. In general, these are independent fragments of code and data which have been ripped from games and demonstration programs and were transferred directly from the C64. All you need is a supported operating system and audio hardware with average PCM waveform playback capabilities. A fast CPU and a 16-bit sound card are recommended for better performance. This is just the library. To actually use it, you need one of the front-ends like 'sidplay' or 'xsidplay'.

Oggz provides a simple programming interface for reading and writing Ogg files and streams. Ogg is an interleaving data container developed by Monty at Xiph.Org, originally to support the Ogg Vorbis audio format. liboggz supports the flexibility afforded by the Ogg file format while presenting the following API niceties: * Strict adherence to the formatting requirements of Ogg bitstreams, to ensure that only valid bitstreams are generated * A simple, callback based open/read/close or open/write/close interface to raw Ogg files * A customisable seeking abstraction for seeking on multitrack Ogg data * A packet queue for feeding incoming packets for writing, with callback based notification when this queue is empty * A means of overriding the IO functions used by Oggz, for easier integration with media frameworks and similar systems. * A handy table structure for storing information on each logical bitstream

Readme for mBox mBox is program intended to help you with organizing your music files. The most important features are: - Ability to reencode mp3/ogg/wma to mp3/ogg - contains utility 'convertor' which converts whole directories to desired format. Bitrate, etc. is automatically adjusted depending on settings and source audio. See users-guide for further information. - supports reading/writing tags in MP3 ID3v1 and ID3v2, Ogg Vorbis - supports reading WMA tags - supports FreeDB, treats encoded files as if it was CD, so you can simply select your files and - if found in database - write tags to them. - supports auto tagging - reads tag information from filename - supports batch tags editing - supports batch files renaming (can use tags) - supports directory renaming (can use tags)

mpg321 is a clone of the popular mpg123 command-line mp3 player. It should function as a drop-in replacement for mpg123 in many cases. While some of the functionality of mpg123 is not yet implemented, mpg321 should function properly in most cases for most people, such as for frontends such as gqmpeg. mpg321 is based on the mad MPEG audio decoding library. It therefore is highly accurate, and also uses only fixed-point calculation, making it more efficient on machines without a floating-point unit. While mpg321 is not as fast as the non-free mpg123 on systems which have a floating point unit, it comes under the GNU General Public License, which allows greater freedom to its users. For most people who want mpg123, mpg321 is a better alternative.

Shorten reduces the size of waveform files (such as audio) using Huffman coding of prediction residuals and optional additional quantisation. In lossless mode the amount of compression obtained depends on the nature of the waveform. Those composing of low frequencies and low amplitudes give the best compression, which may be 2:1 or better. Lossy compression operates by specifying a minimum acceptable segmental signal to noise ratio or a maximum bit rate. Lossy compression operates by zeroing the lower order bits of the waveform, so retaining waveform shape. Permission is granted to use this software for decoding and non-commercial encoding (e.g. private or research use). If you intend to use shorten, be sure to check the full license, which can be displayed by "shorten -l".
