Open Source Go Sound/Audio Software

Navidrome is an open-source, web-based personal music server that lets you stream and manage your entire music collection from any browser or compatible mobile app, effectively turning your own files into a cloud-accessible music service. It supports large libraries and handles a wide variety of audio formats while maintaining very low resource usage, so it runs well even on small servers, Raspberry Pi devices, and other constrained hardware. Users can browse, play, and organize tracks and playlists via a modern web interface, plus they can control access for multiple users with individualized play counts, favorites, and library permissions. Navidrome also implements the Subsonic API, making it compatible with many third-party players and apps across different platforms. It automatically monitors and indexes your library for new content, supports on-the-fly transcoding to adapt audio streams to different network conditions.

CLIAMP is a command-line tool designed to enhance developer productivity by providing a streamlined interface for managing and interacting with projects directly from the terminal. It focuses on simplifying repetitive development tasks by offering a structured and scriptable environment where commands can be composed and reused efficiently. The tool emphasizes minimalism and speed, allowing developers to execute workflows without leaving the command-line environment. It is particularly useful for developers who prefer keyboard-driven workflows and want to reduce reliance on graphical interfaces. CLIAMP supports extensibility, enabling users to define custom commands or integrate it with other tools in their development stack. Its design aligns with modern CLI tooling trends, prioritizing composability and developer ergonomics. By abstracting common operations into reusable commands, it helps reduce friction in everyday development tasks.

deej is an open-source hardware volume mixer for Windows and Linux PCs. It lets you use real-life sliders (like a DJ!) to seamlessly control the volumes of different apps (such as your music player, the game you're playing and your voice chat session) without having to stop what you're doing. Control your microphone's input level. Lightweight desktop client, consuming around 10MB of memory. Runs from your system tray. Helpful notifications to let you know if something isn't working. The sliders are connected to 5 (or as many as you like) analog pins on an Arduino Nano/Uno board. They're powered from the board's 5V output (see schematic). The board connects via a USB cable to the PC. The code running on the Arduino board is a C program constantly writing current slider values over its serial interface. The PC runs a lightweight Go client in the background. This client reads the serial stream and adjusts app volumes according to the given configuration file.

Virtual Cables is a lightweight software solution for routing audio between applications. It creates virtual audio devices that work like physical cables, allowing audio from one program to be sent directly to another without additional hardware. Ideal for recording, streaming, audio processing, and other flexible audio workflows.

AEBL Mobile Media Player, changing how we consume media. AEBL is a media player and a digital media platform in use in the IHDN XPO network media system ( http://www.ihdn.ca/Xpo_VI.html ). AEBL is foremost a mobile media distribution and playback framework. It was created to be the core technology that is used in a television ad insertion and digital sign, and further development has opened up many more applications. It currently is designed to run on a raspberry Pi, although it is being ported to other systems. The AEBL blog is located here: http://aeblm2.blogspot.ca/ For those interested in trying it out, you will need a Raspberry Pi (should be the B series with 512MB) and a SD card (4GB or higher, recommend base 8GB but the larger, the better, for content storage). The current image is a ~680MB 7zip compressed file of it's original 2.7GB size, located on dropbox, here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lj0r6yia4tsnz8w/140815-aeblpi.img.7z?dl=0

sonoscli is a modern command-line interface for controlling Sonos speaker systems directly from the terminal using local network communication protocols. Written in Go, the tool allows users to discover, group, and manage Sonos devices without relying on the official desktop or mobile applications. It supports playback controls, room grouping, queue management, favorites, live event subscriptions, and Spotify integration while maintaining a scriptable interface suitable for automation workflows. The project emphasizes reliability through SSDP discovery, topology awareness, and subnet scan fallbacks to ensure consistent device detection across different network environments. It also provides structured outputs such as JSON and TSV, making it useful for scripting, monitoring, and integration with external automation systems. Designed for developers and power users, sonoscli combines low-level control with a streamlined user experience optimized for terminal environments.

SoundBrake sits silently in your system tray, watching your output volume in real time. When you've been listening too loud for too long, it sends a native desktop notification — and at critical levels it automatically lowers the volume to protect your hearing.

spogo is a terminal-based Spotify controller designed to provide fast, scriptable playback management directly from the command line. Built with automation and developer workflows in mind, it enables users to search tracks, manage playback, switch devices, and control Spotify sessions without relying on the official desktop interface. The project integrates with Spotify accounts using imported browser authentication, allowing secure local access without exposing credentials directly in scripts. spogo is frequently used alongside AI agent ecosystems such as OpenClaw, where it acts as a lightweight music playback utility for automated assistants and workflow integrations. Its design emphasizes responsiveness, simplicity, and compatibility with shell-based environments, making it useful for power users, automation enthusiasts, and developers. The tool also supports status inspection and device management, enabling flexible multi-device audio control from terminal environments.
