The Audio File was a curated list of the best audioware and audio related software, web services and websites. The emphasis is on free and open software; think of The Audio File as a mostly daily log of audio discoveries on the high seas of open source software and freeware.

Still reading? Ok, I’m an audiophile and a retired technical writer; this blog is an attempt to document and share my PC audio and Foobar2000 efforts and experiences. As I do, or find, something new I try to post it here on The Audio File. I scan all files linked to as part of the vetting procedure, however, I still highly recommend scanning any download at VirusTotal and manalyzer.org before you install any software. However, I cannot guarantee any downloads as safe and you use these references to third party software completely at your own risk.

This site has grown to include much of what I think is now out there. I’ve slowed down somewhat since it’s difficult to justify the time it takes to create and maintain content without compensation. (ad revenue is non-existent). Any mistakes, omissions or oversights are entirely mine. Feel free to contact me if you would like me to recommend your software, or with any suggestions, ideas and concerns.

Sincerely, 2tec

PS. If you find a page, or app, helpful or not, I’d really appreciate if you could rate it appropriately. Thanks.
