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.
wavbreaker is a tool to take a wave file and break it up into
multiple wave files. It makes a clean break at the correct
position to burn the files to an audio CD without any dead
space between the tracks. It will only read wave files, so use
an appropriate tool to convert Ogg, MP3, etc. files and then
break them up. The GUI displays a summary of the entire wave
file being worked on at the top. There is also a command line
tool to merge wave files together (wavmerge). This tool will
only work on files that are alike. For example, 44100 khz
sample rate, 16-bit sample size, etc. (use sox to convert files
first if necessary).
WildMIDI is a simple software midi player which has a core softsynth library
that can be used with other applications.
The WildMIDI library uses Gravis Ultrasound patch files to convert MIDI files
into audio which is them passed back to the calling application for further
processing or output. The API of the library is designed so that it is easy to
include WildMIDI into applications that wish to include MIDI file playback.
With multiple MIDI file support you can develop applications to mix several
midi files together at the same time and with the next release you will be
able to use a different patch set for each MIDI file.
The wildmidi player is a demonstration program to show the capabilities of
libWildMidi.
gtkpod is a platform independent graphical user interface for Apple's iPod
using GTK2. It supports the first to fifth generation, including the iPod
mini, iPod photo, iPod shuffle, iPod nano, and iPod video. It allows you to:
* Read your existing iTunesDB (i.e. import the existing contents of
your iPod including playcounts, ratings, and on-the-go playlists)
* Add MP3, WAV, M4A (non-protected AAC), M4B (audio book), and podcast
files (single files, directories or existing playlists) to the iPod
* Browse the contents of your local hard disk by album/artist/genre
* Create and modify playlists, including smart playlists
* Choose the charset the ID3 tags are encoded in from within gtkpod
* Extract tag information (artist, album, title, etc.) from the filename
* Detect duplicates when adding songs (optional)
* Remove and export tracks from your iPod
* Modify/Refresh ID3 tags, optionally updating the original file
* Synchronize directories
* Normalize the volume of your tracks (via mp3gain or the replay-gain tag)
* Download and display of Album Art from the Internet
* Work offline and synchronize your new playlists/songs with the iPod later
* Export your korganizer/kaddressbook/thunderbird/evocalendar/evolution/
webcalendar/... data to the iPod (scripts for other programs can be
easily added)
ALURE is a utility library to help manage common tasks with OpenAL applications.
This includes device enumeration and initialization, file loading,
and streaming. As of version 1.1, it is X11/MIT licensed, allowing it to be used
in open- and closed-source programs, freeware or commercial.
The purpose of this library is to provide pre-made functionality that would
otherwise be repetitive or difficult to (re)code for various projects
and platforms, such as loading a sound file into an OpenAL buffer and streaming
an audio file through a buffer queue. Support for different formats is
consistant across platforms, so no special checks are needed when loading files,
and all formats are handled through the same API.
Currently ALURE includes a basic .wav and .aif file reader,
and can leverage external libraries such as libSndFile
(for extended wave formats and several others), VorbisFile (for Ogg Vorbis),
FLAC (for FLAC and Ogg FLAC), and others. External libraries can also be
dynamically loaded at run-time, or individually disabled outright at compile
time.
AMPLE is short for "A MP3 LEnder"
So what's good with AMPLE?
Small, standalone (written in C using no external libraries)
Allows you to listen to your own MP3's away from home,
nothing more, nothing less
Ario is a GTK2 client for MPD (Music player daemon). The interface used to
browse the library is inspired by Rhythmbox but Ario aims to be much lighter
and faster.
ascd is a CD player that can be "docked" on the Afterstep Wharf or the
Window Maker dock.
The asmix utility is a volume control knob for X windows and for AfterStep
window manager especially. The knob can be used to adjust the master
volume of your sound card.
abcselect is a perl script for extracting parts, movements
etc. from files in the abc format of music notation.
