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 module is an object-oriented interface to libshout, an MP3 streaming
library that allows applications to easily communicate and broadcast to an
Icecast streaming media server. It handles the socket connections, metadata
communication, and data streaming for the calling application, and lets
developers focus on feature sets instead of implementation details.
Praat (the Dutch word for "talk") is a free scientific computer software
package for the analysis of speech in phonetics.
KDE library to access CDDB information.
Shout-python is a set of bindings for libshout2. It allows you to
act as a source for icecast 1 and 2, and shoutcast.
Rosegarden is a free integrated musical notation editor and MIDI
sequencer for Unix/X platforms, with specific support for FreeBSD,
Linux PCs and SGI IRIX workstations.
This is an XMMS Plugin which sends the Playlist data to

Shout feeds an mp3 stream to your icecast or shoutcast server. The shoutcast
system is a more or less commercial system, developed by Nullsoft.
KDE library for interfacing with audio CDs.
When you study music on high school, college or music conservatory, you
usually have to do ear training. Some of the exercises, like sight singing
is easy to do alone. But often you have to be at least two people, one
making questions, the other answering.
GNU Solfege tries to help out with this. Solfege is a computer program written
to help you practise the more simple and mechanical exercises on your own.
These are the exercises written so far:
* Recognise melodic and harmonic intervals
* Compare interval sizes
* Sing the intervals the computer asks for
* Identify chords
* Sing chords
* Scales
* Dictation
* Remembering rhythmic patterns
