Kexis - A lossless WAV file compressor. Kexis' main goal is to develop
prediction and encoding schemes to minimize compressed file size. Kexis
strives to be the premier lossless sound encoder.
MAD is a high-quality MPEG audio decoder. It currently supports MPEG-1
as well as the MPEG-2 extension to Lower Sampling Frequencies. All
three audio layers (Layer I, Layer II, and Layer III a.k.a. MP3) are
fully implemented.
MAD does not yet support MPEG-2 multichannel audio (although it should
be backward compatible with such streams) or AAC, nor does it support
the so-called MPEG 2.5 format.
MAD has the following special features:
- 24-bit PCM output
- 100% fixed-point (integer) computation
- completely new implementation based on the ISO/IEC standards
- distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL)
The software is distributed as a library (libmad) and command-line
front-end (madplay).
libmikmod is a portable sound library for Unix.
It is able to play the IT, XM, S3M, MTM, 669, STM, ULT, FAR, MED, AMF, DSM,
IMF, GDM, STX, OKT and of course MOD module formats.
MP3::Archive (packaged as libmp3-archive-perl) is a perl module to encapsulate
the parsing and creation of filenames containing music metadata (artist, album,
etc).
It is used by mp3-archive-tools and mp3lint.
LibSMF is a BSD-licensed C library for handling SMF ("*.mid") files.
It transparently handles timepulses conversions, tempo map handling
etc. The only dependencies are C compiler and glib. Full API
documentation and examples are included.
Libsidplayfp is a fork of sidplay2 born with the aim to improve the quality
of emulating the 6581, 8580 chips and the surrounding C64 system in order
to play SID music better.
Libsndfile is a C library for reading and writing files containing sampled
sound (such as MS Windows WAV and the Apple/SGI AIFF format) through one
standard library interface.
Libxmp loads the module and renders the sound as linear PCM samples in a buffer
at rate and format specified by the user. Applications for libxmp include
players, module information extractors, module-to-mp3 renderers, etc.
Freealut is a free implementation of the OpenAL Utility Toolkit
(ALUT).
It is well suited to producing succinct demo programs and to help
new developers to get started with OpenAL without distractions
such as loading sound samples from disk.
mp3blaster is an interactive text-based mp3player. One of
the unique features of this player is the ability to divide
a playlist into groups (albums). Therefore, the play order
can be adjusted with great flexibility.
