OptimFROG is a lossless audio compression program. Its main goal is to
reduce at maximum the size of audio files, while permitting bit identical
restoration for all input. It is similar with the ZIP compression, but it
is highly specialized to compress audio data.
OptimFROG obtains asymptotically the best lossless audio compression
ratios. It has Windows, Linux, and Mac versions, fully featured input
plug-ins for the Windows Media Player, foobar2000, Winamp2/3/5, dBpowerAMP,
XMPlay, QCD, and XMMS audio players (with bitstream error resilience,
ID3v1.1 and APEv2 read tagging support, ID3v2 compatible), optimal support
for all integer PCM wave formats up to 32 bits and an extensible streamable
(error tolerant) compressed format. It is also fast, the default mode
encodes CD quality audio data at 12.4x real-time and decodes at 17.4x real-
time on AMD Athlon XP 1800+ (the fastest mode encodes at 28.1x real-time
and decodes at 24.7x real-time). Self-extracting (sfx) archives can also be
created with a small overhead of just 54 KB.
This is the home page for the Open Source Audio Library Project. This is a
project designed to implement a world class set of classes in C++ that will
handle all of the audio functions one would like. It is designed to be multi-
platform with UNIX based platforms as the base. This project is still in the
beta code phase and a beta version that will illustrate the power and
flexibility is now available. This version supports the Linux (OSS) audio
device, Solaris Sparc audio device, FreeBSD (OSS) audio device, wav, au, aiff,
aifc, mp3, and numerous other formats. It is important to note that this is
not an application but a C++ library that others can use to create an audio
application or to easily add audio capabilities to an existing application.
Open Sound System for FreeBSD is a audio subsystem that provides
a cross platform audio and MIDI API with device drivers for most
consumer and professional PCI and USB audio devices.
tagged should become a collection of perl tools to read, change and write
different tags of MP3 audio files.
A simple command line player for playing 8bit Atari(TM) .sap (Slight Atari
Player) audio files.
Practical Music Search is an open source ncurses client for Music
Player Daemon, written in C++. The target audience are power users who
need an MPD client that is highly configurable and accessible. PMS
features a simple but powerful interface similar to Vim, and runs on
(at least) Linux and Mac OS X.
Praat (the Dutch word for "talk") is a free scientific computer software
package for the analysis of speech in phonetics.
Puddletag is a audio tag editor similar to Windows program Mp3tag. Unlike most
taggers, it uses a spreadsheet-like layout so that all the tags you want to
edit by hand are visible and easily editable.
Supported formats: ID3v1, ID3v2 (mp3), MP4 (mp4, m4a, etc.), VorbisComments
(ogg, flac), Musepack (mpc), Monkey's Audio (.ape) and WavPack (wv)
eyeD3 is a Python program/module for processing (reading and
writing) ID3 tags. Information about mp3 files (i.e bit rate,
sample frequency, play time, etc.) is also available. The formats
supported are ID3 v1.0/v1.1 and v2.3/v2.4.
Python Audio Tools are a collection of audio handling programs which work from
the command line. These include programs for CD extraction, track conversion
from one audio format to another, track renaming and retagging, track
identification, CD burning from tracks, and more. Supports internationalized
track filenames and metadata using Unicode. Works with high-definition,
multi-channel audio as well as CD-quality. Track conversion uses multiple CPUs
or CPU cores if available to greatly speed the transcoding process. Track
metadata can be retrieved from FreeDB, MusicBrainz or compatible servers.
