Open Source Linux Audio Conversion Software

SoX is the Swiss Army Knife of sound processing utilities. It can convert audio files to other popular audio file types and also apply sound effects and filters during the conversion.

LAME is an educational tool to be used for learning about MP3 encoding. The goal of the LAME project is to improve the psycho acoustics, quality and speed of MP3 encoding. Note: we provide source code only!

FAAC is an Advanced Audio Coder (MPEG2-AAC, MPEG4-AAC). The goal of FAAC is to explore the possibilities of AAC and exceed the quality of the currently best MP3 encoders. You can submit pull requests via GitHub: https://github.com/knik0/faac https://github.com/knik0/faad2

The SoX Resampler library `libsoxr' performs one-dimensional sample-rate conversion—it may be used, for example, to resample PCM-encoded audio. It aims to give fast and high quality results for any constant (rational or irrational) resampling ratio. Phase-response, preserved bandwidth, aliasing, and rejection level parameters are all configurable; alternatively, simple `preset' configurations may be selected. An experimental, variable-rate resampling mode of operation is also included.

MAD is a high-quality fixed-point MPEG audio decoder with 24-bit output. The implementation is entirely new, based on the ISO/IEC standards, and performs especially well on systems without native floating-point support.

The Bauer stereophonic-to-binaural DSP (bs2b) library and plugins is designed to improve headphone listening of stereo audio records. Recommended for headphone prolonged listening to disable superstereo fatigue without essential distortions.

mp3splt is a free utility to split mp3, ogg vorbis and FLAC files without decoding, selecting begin/end time; if file is an album, you can get splitpoints automatically from internet or a local cue, cddb file. It also splits Mp3Wrap and AlbumWrap archives. Supports splitting and trimming by silence detection. For mp3 files, both ID3v1 and ID3v2 are supported using original tags or user defined tags.

fre:ac is a free audio converter and CD ripper for various formats and encoders. It features MP3, MP4/M4A, WMA, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, AAC, and Bonk format support, integrates freedb/CDDB, CDText and ID3v2 tagging and is available in several languages.

FLAC is a free lossless compressed audio format which supports streaming and archival. The FLAC project maintains the format and provides a reference encoder/decoder and input plugins for several popular audio players.

Usage: - Install the Audible Manager and open a file of your account. - Sign in into your audible account (in the application). Now the program can convert your audible files. - Start Aax2Mp3 (AaxToMp3GUI.exe) and select the file you want to convert. - Click the Convert button. - The buttons are grayed out and it shows how far the conversion has progressed. - - The time should always continue to increase. - If the buttons are clickable again, the conversion is completed. The mp3 file is now to be found in the same folder as the AAX file. The conversion need (depending on the computing power) for 1 minute of audio approximately 2 seconds. The conversion of Aax to MP3 is fast, free, and requires no I-Tunes. Have fun while listening! If you want to help developing this software, please contact me. I do not have enough time to develop alone.

Lossless compressor for multichannel 8,16 and 24 bits audio data, with the ability of password data protection. Being 'lossless' means that no data/quality is lost in the compression - when uncompressed, the data will be identical to the original.

Most music is recorded in 440Hz. Many people claim that 432Hz resonates more with the heart whereas 440Hz resonates more with the brain, and that 432Hz music feels better. Try it yourself. Play a music in 440Hz and in 432Hz, and see which one you prefer. Most people choose the 432Hz version, and it's hard to go back to 440Hz. This application re-encodes your audio files while shifting the pitch to 432Hz. It uses a very high-quality pitch-shifting algorithm. Supports Windows (Win 7 SP1 or later) and Linux (all distros).

A versatile, future-proof, and expandable multimedia encoder designed for ease of use. Internet Friendly Media Encoder supports adding subtitles and attachments, and can function as a remuxing tool with a Copy Stream option. It allows you to combine multiple video, audio, subtitle, and attachment streams into a single file, remove unwanted streams, or incorporate subtitles from another video without extracting. The software also supports AviSynth for advanced video processing. The video and audio encoders are implemented in a plug-in style, enabling users to add their own compiled, optimized CPU architectures for increased speed. This modular design ensures that the encoder remains adaptable and expandable, allowing for the addition of new and future encoding technologies. Internet Friendly Media Encoder also supports hardware acceleration from Intel, AMD, and NVidia for encoding in H264, H265, and AV1 formats.

Multimedia architecture consisting of libraries and applications. Libraries include gavl for low level audio/video support and gmerlin_avdecoder, a multiformat decoding library. Applications include a GUI player with mediatree and a GUI transcoder.

mpg321 is a completely Free drop-in replacement for mpg123. It has been designed to work as a drop-in replacement for mpg123, for the use of front ends, shell scripts, etc. It does all mp3 decoding using the high-quality integer-only MAD library.

LSP (Linux Studio Plugins) is a collection of open-source plugins currently compatible with LADSPA, LV2 and LinuxVST formats. Standalone plugins for JACK are provided since version 1.0.8. Experimental support of ARMv7 added since version 1.1.4 Experimental support of AArch64 added since version 1.1.9 Decomposition of modules and new UI introduced in 1.2.0 Added CLAP support in 1.2.5 Added VST3 support in 1.2.15 The basic idea is to fill the lack of good and useful plugins under the GNU/Linux platform. After some contributions to other open source projects the decision was made to implement separate and independent plugin distribution.

FF Multi Converter is a simple graphical application which enables you to convert audio, video, image and document files between all popular formats, using and combining other programs. It uses ffmpeg for audio/video files, unoconv for document files and ImageMagick for image file conversions.

mp3wrap is a free indipendent alternative to AlbumWrap. It's a command-line utility that wraps quickly two or more mp3 files in one single large playable mp3, without losing filenames and ID3 informations. To split original files use mp3splt.
