Free mp3 encoder software for linux

BladeEnc is a freeware MP3 encoder. It is based on the same ISO compression routines as mpegEnc, so you can expect roughly the same, or better, quality . The main difference is the appearance and speed.
BladeEnc doesnt have a nice, user-friendly interface like mpegEnc, but it is more than three times faster, and it works with several popular front-end graphical user interfaces.
BladeEncs output quality is one of those rare subjects that completely divides the world in two parts. Either you love it or you hate it, there never seems to be an opinion inbetween. Different audiophiles and mp3 experts tends to come to completely different conclusions depending on their methods and testsamples.
The reason for this is of course that BladeEnc is a very different mp3 encoder (compared to Fraunhofer, LAME etc) with a very unique approach to mp3 encoding.
In order to compress sound to an mp3 file, you need to make certain sacrifices in quality. Taking into account how we percieve sound, the mp3 encoder tries to remove the details that it believes us to be least likely to notice. How much that needs to be removed depends on the bitrate and the encoder often has the choice of doing different kinds of sacrifices.
It can remove low volume tones that are "shadowed" by high volume tones of similar frequencies, remove the high frequency part of the sound spectrum, cut down the stereo effect (so called joint stereo) and simply decrease the samplerate. What approach is the best depends on a lot of things, like the style of music and the selected bitrate.
Main features:
- Sourcecode available under the LGPL-license!
- Stereo or Mono output. Can downmix to Mono on the fly.
- Supports the following bitrates: 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 160, 192, 224, 256 and 320 kBit/s. However, for bitrates lower than 128 kBit we seriously recommend you to use another encoder.
- Flags like Private, Original and Copyright can be set.
- Input samples can be in either 32, 44.1 or 48 kHz.
- Both 8 and 16-bit samples are supported.
- Working CRC checksum generation (since 0.80). The ISO reference code had broken CRC calculations, which has been inherited into every ISO based encoder that havent added a fix for it.
- Can be plugged directly into many popular 3rd party products, giving them integrated mp3 encoding abilities.
- Encodes chunks of data from memory to memory, no need to use files or pipes.
- Can be compiled for nearly any operating system still in use.
- Commandline based, makes it easy to include BladeEnc into BAT files and shell scripts.
- Only mp3 encoder that supports gapless encoding.
- Reads standard uncompressed WAV- and AIFF-files as well as well as RAW PCM-data.
- Batch encoding. Can encode any number of samples in a row.
- Wildcards supported. You can for example encode all WAV-files in a directory by typing *.WAV".
- Input samples can be automatically deleted after encoding.
- Large selection of graphical frontends available.
- Task priority can be set from the commandline and is by default set to LOWEST so that you still can use your computer effectively while encoding (Windows & OS/2 only).
- Full support for pipes and redirection (stdin and stdout).
- Textbased configuration file where you can change default settings.

Drip is a DVD to DIVX conversion application. Its made up out two applications: a DVD reader and a DIVX encoder. The reader is a GUI for the GNOME environment, the DIVX encoder a text mode tool.
You wont have to learn to use the textmode tool, because the GUI also is a frontend for it. Drip is not yet usable for NTSC (Region1) DVDs because those are prepared differently as PAL DVDs.
Main features:
- Utilisation of avifile encoding, so much avifile codecs support, o.a. MSMPEG4, OpenDIVX and Xvid encoding support
- MP3 audio encoding, also dual channel.
- DVD reading, based on libraries libdvdread and libdvdcss
- Subpictures overlaying (not as seperate data)
- Automatic clipping, blurring and scaling of video stream
- Deinterlacing of PAL video (Not for interlaced NTSC material, but helps a little)
- DVDdb support and DVD header pasring for automatic DIVX naming
- Terminal only encoding (dripencoder)
- Plugin filters for audio and video.
- Many other options and logic for ONE RUN divx creation
Requierments:
- A recent version (1.2 or later) of the GNOME environment.
- nasm and automake-1.5 or later to compile.
- A Unix OS with GNU development and DVD support (UDF or ISO9660), like linux 2.4
- libdvdcss-1.2.2 for handling DVD data.
- libdvdread-0.9.3 for parsing DVD disk info.
- For mpeg2 and a52 decoding, install both libmpeg2 0.2.1 and liba52
- xvid 0.9.2
- avifile 0.7.34 or later for divx;-) encoding.
- Image Magick for the ImageMagick filter.
- libXML2.
- gcc 3.2.x to compile.
- libmpeg2 0.3.1
Version restrictions:
- NTSC deinterlacing.
- Complete PCM handling. PCM audio tends to go out of sync with current code. Need more testing material..
- Chapter handling. Drip offers Program Chain and angle selection, but not seperate chapters.

Grip is a CD player and CD ripper/MP3-encoder for the GNOME desktop. It has the ripping capabilities of cdparanoia built in, but can also use external rippers (such as cdda2wav).
It also provides an automated frontend for MP3 encoders (presets for lame, bladeenc, l3enc, xingmp3enc, mp3encode, and gogo), letting you take a disc and transform it easily straight into MP3s.
The Ogg Vorbis format is also supported. Internet disc lookups are supported for retrieving track information from disc database servers.
Grip works with DigitalDJ to provide a unified, "computerized" version of your music collection.
Main features:
- Full-featured CD player with a small screen footprint in "condensed" mode
- Database lookup/submission to share track information over the net
- HTTP proxy support for those behind firewalls
- Loop, shuffle, and playlist modes
- Ripping of single, multiple, or partial tracks
- Encoding of ripped .wav files into MP3 files (as well support for OGG and FLAC)
- Simultaneous rip and encode
- Support for multiple encode processes on SMP machines
- Adding ID3v1/v2 tags to MP3 files
- Cooperating with DigitalDJ, my SQL-based MP3 jukebox
Enhancements:
- de.po: updated (G?tz Waschk)
- it.po: updated (Ceoldo Costantino)
- fr.po: updated (Eric Lassauge)
- pl_PL.po: added (Piotr Adamocha)
- id3.c: put a zero byte before the id3v1 track number (Vladimir Petrov)
- discdb.c: string parsing fixes to support i18n (Vladimir Petrov)
- discdb.c: better handling of non-UTF-8 local discdb files (Vladimir Petrov)
- various: tweaks to filesystem-safe character escaping (Vladimir Petrov)
- cdplay.c: allow retrieving of non-UTF-8 discdb entries (Vladimir Petrov)
- discdb.c: fixed a possible buffer overflow crash (Dean Brettle)
- grip.spec.in: added some missing BuildRequires (Stephen E. Dudek)
- configure.in: upped version to 3.3.1

Oggasm is a program that makes converting your mp3 collection into oggs a all but painless process.

Using oggenc and mpg321, with perl glueing it all together, oggasm is able to go through an entire collection, identify id3 tags and then convert those mp3s into oggs while keeping the id3 tags intact.

TODO:

server-client model: When oggasm is started I want it to creat a list of jobs that need to be done and then assign those jobs to various clients that could either be running on the same machine or on other machines connected via a network.

Im of two minds on how to do this. Either I learn how to use sockets and develop my own communication protocol to tell the clients what to do, or I create physical files that are grabed by the client via ftp or samba. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages and I hope to look into it more soon.

One thing that is very important is that a client machines need to be able to come and go as necessary. So oggasm might start with 2 clients, be at 5 later in the day, and then down to 1 when it all finishes.

network functionality: How this will look will rest largly on how the server-client model ends up looking. But most likely the it will involve using ftp or samba to grab files from the server machine, convert them, and then send them back to the server. After that the
client will be assigned a new job.

improvments to user interface: This will be a on going process. As I continue to get more feedback on how people felt their experience with oggasm was I can improve how it the interface looks. Recent changes with 1.3 will allow updates to the interface to be much smother than before.

more encoder/decoder options: certainly oggenc will remain the primary encoder, however other free codecs might come along someday, and it would be nice if oggasm was modular enough to beable to plug in different encoders. I would also like to support different decoders as not everyone has mpg321 (however I will NOT provide support of non-free decoders).

Osalp 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 numerousother 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 easly add audio capabilities to an existing application. OSALP was originally designed and developed by Bruce Forsberg out of need to manage and edit large sound files in a simple manner. Currently the project is being maintained by Darrick Servis.

The library is built on a set of core classes that provide the basic functionality. New classes to operate on data are derived from these classes. These classes provide a powerful chaining process. This allows one to build an audio chain much like one would build with building blocks. Audio data is encapsulated into a single class. This allows one to handle data conversions in one place.

There is a file base class (aflibFile) that defines the API for any device or file classes that are to be developed. They are implemented as dynamically loaded shared objects so that new file types can be added without recompiling the base library or needing to link them to an application. This will allow third parties to support their proprietary formats as a binary "plugable modules".

Linux & FreeBSD Device (OSS) -- aflibDevFile
Solaris Sparc Device -- aflibSolarisSparcDevFile
WAV (linear, mu-law, a-law) -- aflibWavFile
AU (linear, mu-law, a-law) -- aflibAuFile
AIFC -- aflibAifcFile
AIFF -- aflibAiffFile
MP3 using Lame encoder -- aflibLameFile
MP3 using Blade encoder -- aflibBladeFile
MP3 reader using splay library -- aflibMpgFile
MP3 reader using mpg123 executable -- aflibMpg123File
Sox library interface (supports most formats supported by the sox sound tools library -- aflibSoxFile

Currently there are several worker classes. These are the classes that actually do the work. These classes are not tied to any GUI but are GUI neutral. This allows developers to write code using the GUI of their choice.

Audio Sample Rate Converter -- aflibAudioSampleRateCvt
Audio Pitch Change -- aflibAudioPitch
Audio Test Source -- aflibAudioConstantSrc
Audio Editing -- aflibAudioEdit
Audio Timer Recording -- aflibAudioRecorder
Audio VU Meter and Spectrum Display -- aflibAudioSpectrum
Audio Mixing -- aflibAudioMixer
Butterworth Filter -- aflibAudioBWFilter
Reading Audio Data from Memory -- aflibAudioMemoryInput
Reading and Writing Audio Data to Devices or Files -- aflibAudioFile

There are also utility classes. These are not part of the main audio chain but are probably needed by most audio applications or are used indirectly by the worker classes.

FFT -- aflibFFT
User Environment Storage and Retrieval -- aflibEnvFile
Audio sample data -- aflibSampleData
Sample rate conversion -- aflibConverter

Mp3 renamer 2006 by MiKe is a shell script for Linux. MP3 renamer goes by the Unix name of rename-mp3. It looks at MP3 files in a Directory and, using id3v2, will rename all the mp3 files in a nice format according to the id3 tags rename-mp3 will look at both v1 and v2 id3 tags, and will make the output file in a Title-Album-Artist.mp3 format.
It saves time, and not only will it read the id3 tags, but in the event that the MP3 file has no id3 tags, you will be given 4 options
1)abort 2)skip 3)rename 4)write id3 tags, and you are asked what you would like the id3 tag artist, track name and album to be.
This is great if you want the track to be easy to view and yet you still like having a library of music that is all tagged nicely!
Enhancements:
- New stuff: The INSTALLER now works, whereas before it wouldnt copy...
