Easy Audio Sync ~ Syncing & Conversion Utility

Posted by tom2tec on

Audio library syncing and conversion utility

Easy Audio Sync is an audio library syncing and conversion utility. The intended use is syncing an audio library with many lossless files to a mobile device with limited storage.

The program’s design is inspired by the rsync utility. It supports folder-based source to destination syncing, with added audio transcoding capability, and is GUI-based instead of CLI-based.

Features:

  • Custom FFmpeg-based audio transcoding engine
    • Multithreaded operation for fast conversions
    • 4 lossy output codecs supported: MP3, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, and Opus
  • Robust metadata parser ensures tags and cover art are correctly transferred when converting between different formats
  • ReplayGain volume adjustments
  • Destination folder cleaning (deleting files that no longer exist in the source)
  • Cross-platform Windows/macOS/Linux

Dancing QT ~  Player For Dancing Schools

Posted by tom2tec on

Dancing QT is a combined music database and player application specially designed for dancing schools and equivalent applications. Key features are an easy-to-use interface, fast search capabilities, playlist management, exact pitching and crossfading.

Looking around the open source landscape for a while, I tried to find a music database and player that is suitable for use in a dancing school environment – without success. Most mixing applications tend to be too confusing for the intended audience, most players lack database searching capabilites and most song databases don’t know how to pitch 😦

Because of this, I decided to setup a new application – Dancing QT. It uses alsaplayer because of its excellent interface and pitching capabilities, it uses an embedded SQLite DBMS to maintain a song database, and it uses taglib to populate the database. The interface is written in C++ using Qt. Because of the alsaplayer dependency, the target platforms will be limited to environments providing alsaplayer.

AudioPlayer ~ CD Image Player

Posted by tom2tec on

This is an audio player for Windows, Linux and MacOS.

It is designed to play audio CDs dumped to raw bin/cue files.

The bin/cue files can be loaded from a folder on disk, or from a zip archive.

This player provides a convenient way of listening to dumps in that format without any additional step(s):

  • No need to mount the cue file as a virtual drive.
  • No need to extract the cue/bin files from zip files.
  • No need to convert the data to wav/flac/ogg/mp3.

This is currently NOT supported:

  • Playing from archives in 7z and rar formats.
  • Playing music from other formats such as wav, mp3, flac, ogg, etc. Just use a regular music player for that.

Album and track metadata is loaded from the CDTEXT information when present in cue file.

Additional metadata is optionally retrieved from CueToolsDB, including album art.

Lyrics are optionally retrieved from LRCLIB. Using a local LRCLIB sqlite3 database is also supported.
