Lattice ~ CLI Toolkit For Music Collectors

Posted by tom2tec on

A high-performance CLI toolkit for music collectors who manage their own libraries. Lattice provides a suite of tools for library visualization, integrity verification, cover art extraction, and metadata auditing — all from a single, zero-dependency script.

Why this exists

Modern music players often hide your library behind proprietary databases. Lattice is built for collectors who treat the filesystem as the source of truth. It reads tags directly via mutagen, ensuring your library is portable and player-agnostic.

Features:

ModeFlagDescription
Library Tree--libraryGenerate a formatted ASCII/Unicode tree of your entire collection.
AI Library--ai-libraryToken-efficient export designed for LLM recommendation prompts.
Genre Wings--all-wingsGenerate separate library catalogs segmented by genre.
Integrity Checks--testFLACParallel verification of FLAC/MP3/Opus/WAV integrity via FFmpeg.
Art Extraction--extractArtExtract embedded covers with format-priority ranking (FLAC > Opus).
Tag Audit--auditTagsIdentify and report files with missing or inconsistent metadata.

Bitfake2 ~ Audio Tool Handler & Manipulator

Posted by tom2tec on

Bitfake was originally created to detect fake .FLAC files through spectral analysis. It has since grown into a multipurpose CLI tool for handling music more easily and efficiently.

One common problem was that getting a track’s metadata required long ffprobe commands with messy output. Converting music with ffmpeg was also repetitive. The command itself is easy to remember, but writing scripts to convert entire directories felt inefficient and slow. This project now performs metadata and conversion tasks directly through linked libraries (TagLib/libsndfile/libav*).

Features:

  • Get metadata
  • Get ReplayGain info (useful for music players)
  • Spectral analysis on 44.1 kHz .FLAC files (higher sample rates may be misrepresented, so be careful)
  • Lossy diagnosis (banding score)
  • File Conversion + VBR Support (Works for outputs like .wav, .flac, .ogg, .mp3, .aac, .opus)
  • Tagging metadata (Works for single files, but not directories yet)
  • Calculating ReplayGain and applying it to files (Works for track replay gain iterating through directories, album replay gain is a bit funky?)
  • Directory Conversion (works for all previously mentioned formats!)
  • CoverArt+ (Brings along cover art among all conversions!)
  • Organizing Files by album! (Give a dir of random music, and bitfake will organize it – ty to uncognic)
  • Directory Tagging (YAY!)
  • Album folder renaming from tags (Artist – Album (Year))
  • Spectrogram generation (in .png)
  • Version info (WOW! BEST YET!)
  • MusicBrainz Syncing data.

RxFFmpeg ~ Android Development Framewok

Posted by tom2tec on

RxFFmpeg is a high-performance multimedia processing framework built on top of FFmpeg and optimized specifically for Android environments, enabling developers to perform complex audio and video editing operations programmatically. It integrates widely used encoding libraries such as x264, mp3lame, and fdk-aac, allowing it to support a broad range of media formats and transformations. The framework provides a wrapper around FFmpeg commands, making it easier to execute advanced media operations without directly handling low-level command syntax. It supports both synchronous and asynchronous execution, enabling developers to manage long-running media tasks efficiently within mobile applications. The system also includes features like hardware acceleration through MediaCodec, significantly improving performance on supported devices. Its design focuses on flexibility, allowing users to perform tasks such as transcoding, clipping, filtering, and compositing media with minimal overhead.

Features:

  • Callback system for tracking execution progress
  • Execution of FFmpeg commands through a simplified interface
  • Support for synchronous and asynchronous media processing
  • Hardware acceleration using MediaCodec
  • Wide range of video and audio editing capabilities
  • Integration with multiple encoding libraries

MusicSync ~ Synchronize Music Libraries

Posted by tom2tec on

MusicSync is a cross-platform tool that synchronizes your music library between devices and drives with advanced settings.

You can use it through CLI, that makes easy to sync you library with only a click using a script, or through GUI, that is more user-friendly. Here there are two examples:

python musicsync D:/Music sdcard/Music --adb --min-rating 4.5 --output-format opus --output-bitrate 128k
python musicsync D:/Music sdcard/Music --adb --min-rating 3 --min-year 2020 --output-format opus --output-bitrate

LosslessCut ~ Lossless Audio Video Editing

Posted by tom2tec on

The swiss army knife of lossless video / audio editing

LosslessCut aims to be the ultimate cross platform FFmpeg GUI for extremely fast and lossless operations on video, audio, subtitle and other related media files. The main feature is lossless trimming and cutting of video and audio files, which is great for saving space by rough-cutting your large video files taken from a video camera, GoPro, drone, etc. It lets you quickly extract the good parts from your videos and discard many gigabytes of data without doing a slow re-encode and thereby losing quality. Or you can add a music or subtitle track to your video without needing to encode. Everything is extremely fast because it does an almost direct data copy, fueled by the awesome FFmpeg which does all the grunt work.

Features:

  • Lossless cutting of most video and audio formats
  • Losslessly cut out parts of video / audio (for cutting away commercials etc.)
  • Losslessly rearrange the order of video / audio segments
  • Lossless merge / concatenation of arbitrary files (with identical codecs parameters, e.g. from the same camera)
  • Lossless stream editing: Combine arbitrary tracks from multiple files (ex. add music or subtitle track to a video file)
  • Losslessly extract all tracks from a file (extract video, audio, subtitle, attachments and other tracks from one file into separate files)
  • Batch view for fast multi-file workflow
  • Remux into any compatible output format
  • Take full-resolution snapshots from videos in JPEG / PNG format
  • Manual input of cutpoint times
  • Apply a per-file timecode offset (and auto load timecode from file)
  • Change rotation / orientation metadata in videos
  • View technical data about all streams
  • Timeline zoom and frame / keyframe jumping for accurate cutting around keyframes
  • Saves per project cut segments to project file
  • View FFmpeg last command log so you can modify and re-run recent commands on the command line
  • Undo/redo
  • Give labels to cut segments
  • View segment details, export / import cut segments as CSV
  • Import segments from: MP4 / MKV chapters, Text file, YouTube, CSV, CUE, XML (DaVinci, Final Cut Pro)
  • Video thumbnails and audio waveform
  • Edit file metadata and per-stream metadata
  • Edit per-stream disposition
  • Cut with chapter marks
  • Annotate segments with tags
  • View subtitles

Ultimate Mono2Stereo ~ Better Mono To Stereo

Posted by tom2tec on

What sets this frontend for ffmpeg apart from other stereo simulators is it creates an illusion of actual stereo separation. More importantly, it produces none of the weird phasing, and/or time delay artifacts. And very little, if any of the tone discoloration, when those others aren’t meticulously set up just right. All this is accomplished by using the ffmpeg crossover audio filter to split the sound into 8 frequency bands. The split points are based on center frequencies of a typical 1/3 octave equalizer. Those 8 bands are then panned in varying degrees to left and right. The varying width of each band is set to achieve the best balance between the left and right channels.
