RipperX is a GTK program to rip CD audio tracks and encode them
to the Ogg, MP3, or FLAC formats. It is easy, requiring a few mouse
clicks to convert an entire album, displaying progress along the
way. It can rip and encode in parallel, and supports CDD.
rplay is a flexible network audio system that allows sounds to be played to
and from local and remote systems. The rplay audio server currently
supports SunOS 4.1.X, Solaris 2.X, Linux, SGI IRIX 4 & 5, HP9000/705,
HP9000/710 and now FreeBSD. The rplay clients and client library should
work on any system that supports Berkeley sockets. The X Window
System is not required.
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 a text to speech system produced by integrating various pieces
of code and tables of data, which are all (I believe) in the public domain.
The Oxford Text Archive has for several years maintained copies of several
machine-readable dictionaries along with its extensive (if
unsystematic) collections of other machine-readable texts. This document
gives some further details of the various dictionaries available, and
summarises the conditions under which copies of them are currently
distributed.
The Oxford Text Archive Shortlist (available on request via electronic
mail and by FTP) gives up to date brief details of all texts held in
the Archive. Send electronic mail to ARCHIVE@VAX.OXFORD.AC.UK. For
anonymous FTP, look in the directory ota on ota.ox.ac.uk.
Rubber Band Library is a high quality software library for audio
time-stretching and pitch-shifting. It permits you to change the tempo

Shout feeds an mp3 stream to your icecast or shoutcast server. The shoutcast
system is a more or less commercial system, developed by Nullsoft.
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.
