Make audio is a graphical tool to create audio CDs from MP3 or wav files. You can simply arrange a playlist of all songs that you want. The application converts MP3 files to WAV and then burns them on the CD.

Audio Transcriber records large audio samples, like a tape or radio broadcast, to your hard drive and splits it into tracks to be burned onto CD-R media.

The goal of Audio Transcriber is to make it easy to transfer audio tapes, LPs, or radio broadcasts to tracks on CD-R/CD-RW.

Perl Audio Converter (PAC) is a tool for converting multiple audio types from one format to another. It supports MP2, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, Shorten, Monkey Audio, FAAC (AAC/M4A/MP4), Musepack (MPC), Wavpack (WV), OptimFrog (OFR/OFS), TTA, LPAC, Kexis (KXS), AIFF, AC3, Lossless Audio (LA), AU, SND, RAW, VOC, SMP, RealAudio (RA/RAM), WAV, and WMA.
It can also convert audio from the following video formats/extensions: RM, RV, ASF, DivX, MPG, MKV, MPEG, AVI, MOV, OGM, QT, VCD, VOB, and WMV. A CD ripping function with CDDB support, batch and playlist conversion, tag preservation for most supported formats, independent tag reading/writing, and extensions for Konqueror and amaroK is also provided.
Enhancements:
- Added: MP4::Info dependency IO::String to pacpl-install
- Updated: License GPLv3
- Bug Fix: Directory conversions. pacpl was claiming the directory was empty and prompting to use the --recursive option...Thanks to John Meyer for the report.

Domo is a music organizer which indexes digital audio sources, extracts all information and inserts into a database.
Domo is in the first place a music organizer. Domo indexes audio sources, extracts all possible information (mpeg headers, ID3 tags, MusicBrainz,...) and inserts everything into a relational database. In this database you can then query, export and compare with other sources (playlist, music cd, ...).
Main features:
- Song based comparison of 2 input sources (see compare page)
- Convertion between different playlist formats
- mp3, ogg meta data extraction & setting
- Retrieval of meta information for unknown songs through TRM audio fingerprints
- Retrieval of Audio CD meta information through the MusicBrainz service
- Maintaining of a wishlist
- Specify your own album format (eg: %genre/%artist - %title (%year))
- Specify your own custom track format (eg: %artist - %trackno - %title)
- Query tracks and albums on artist, title, filename, album title,...
- Easy interface to the internet or other applications through a relational database (MySQL, PostgreSQL, ODBC, SQLITE...)
- Create a backup copy of the music database
- Powerfull song filename/metatag cleanup
- Generate statistics like "top 10 artists", "number of duplicate songs", etc
- Group songs in the database into collections (per user)
- Platform independent
- Assign a mood to tracks (eg: happy, sad, in love, ...)
- Give tracks, albums, ... a score out of 10
- Easy browsing of your collection per Genre or per CD
Enhancements:
- replaced id3lib with taglib
- added and integrated settings which allow choosing metainfo preference (filename or metatag) and which allow the user to specify a custom track format
- writing of metatags is now supported
- bugfixes
- added right-click context menu to score tracks, set mood, delete CDs & rename
- albums
- increased possible query fields
- possible to query albums
- consistency dialog much, much improved (supports genre, album, etc...)
- finally fixed mysql database/account creation permission issues, newly created account
- should be fairly restricted.
- added a genre-centric browse list (in addition to the CD centric one)
- updated statistics to reflect mood popularity and best scoring artists

media-box is a program to watch all kind of multimedia files using a computer.
It suports playing DVD video, VideoCD, various movie files, Audio CD, various music files and watching various still pictures.
Main goal of this project is to have a dedicated computer in your living room by replacing your Hi-Fi component (DVD-player, CD-player). media-box runs in a linux environment so the need for computer power is very low.
Prefered system is a computer with at least 466MHz Celeron with 128MB of ram. Disk space is minimal, it works on 1GB partition but it can sure fit on a partition of 150MB or even less.
As it considers the sound output it is considered to have a sound card with digital out capabilities, so you can easily connect your computer with a dedicated external Dolby Digital receiver, but this is optional.
Graphics card should have a TV-Out feature, so you can watch your media content on TV. For getting the remote control over the whole program, you should make a hardware receiver or you can even buy one. Just make sure it is lirc compatible.
Software used to make this hardware work:
- debian - linux distribution
- xine-lib - library to play media content
- ati.2 - ATI drivers for XFree86 4.2.1 - to get TVOut working
- alsa - SB Live! drivers to get digital out sound
- lirc - remote control software
Enhancements:
- created upgrade script so on pressing n in main window will start an upgrade
- fixed start.sh script to use the /media-box/XF86Config-4 file
- size of screen is now calculated from the width and height of the back.jpg picture (was fixed to 800x600) - beware tvout works only on 800x600.
- fixed background of movie so it is black now. Subtitles of new xine lib displayed background image.
- added new types of files to play (based on extension)
- audio
- aac
- mp4

Audiere is a high-level audio API. It can play Ogg Vorbis, MP3, FLAC, uncompressed WAV, AIFF, MOD, S3M, XM, and IT files. For audio output, Audiere supports DirectSound or WinMM in Windows, OSS on Linux and Cygwin, and SGI AL on IRIX.
Audiere is open source and licensed under the LGPL. This means that you may freely use Audiere in commercial products, as long as you do not modify the source code. If you do modify Audiere and release a product that uses your modifications, you must release your changes to the code under the LGPL as well.
Audiere is portable. It is tested on Windows, Linux-i386, Cygwin, and IRIX with at least three major compilers. Most of Audiere is endian-independent, so it would work with few modifications on other architectures.
Main features:
- Braindead easy API
- Supported file formats: Uncompressed WAV*, Uncompressed AIFF*, Ogg Vorbis*, FLAC*, MP3, MOD, S3M, IT, XM (* supports seeking)
- Streaming and buffered audio
- Volume, pan, and pitch shift modification
- Flat tone, square wave, white noise, and pink noise generation
- Runtime enumeration of audio devices and supported file formats
- Custom file streams
- Python, Delphi, Java, XPCOM (JavaScript in Mozilla) bindings
Enhancements:
- Replaced mpegsound with a stand-alone version of the MPEG audio decoder from ffmpegs libavcodec library. The result is an MP3 decoder that is more portable and works with more MP3 files. MP3 files are now seekable as well. (Matt Campbell)
- Added Speex support.
- Added support for reading metadata tags from sample sources. So far, Vorbis comments are supported, as are ID3v1 and ID3v1.1 tags in MP3 files. Interface designed with help from Brian Robb and Andy Friesen.
- Added callback system for stream stop events. (Richard Schaaf and Chad Austin)
- Added CD audio support, using the MCI subsystem on Win32/Cygwin and libcdaudio on Linux. (Chad Austin and Richard Schaaf)
- Added MIDI support through the MCI subsystem on Win32 and Cygwin. (Chad Austin)
- Dramatically reduced the latency of the OSS device. (Matt Campbell)
- Rewrote the Resampler class to use DUMBs cubic interpolation resampler, resulting in much better resampling for devices such as OSS that use Audieres own mixer. (Matt Campbell)
- Added bindings to wxWidgets. (Emanuel Dejanu)
- Fixed a bug in the DirectSound device implementation which significantly slowed down opening of devices and buffers. (Matt Campbell)
- Added pitchshift to the Python bindings. (Jason Chu)
- Split Doxygen documentation into one for users and one for developers.
