24seven.fm Covers ~ Radio Cover Art
Cover-art for the 24seven.fm family of internet radio stations — Streaming Soundtracks, 1980s.FM, Adagio.FM, Death.FM, and Entranced.FM. A shared, host-agnostic C++ engine drives three Windows front-ends plus a cross-platform core library:
| Component | Directory | Output | Build system |
|---|---|---|---|
| Desktop viewer | desktop/ | 24sevenfm_covers.exe(x64, self-contained) | MSBuild (.vcxproj / .sln) |
| Winamp plugin | winamp/ | gen_24sevenfm_covers.dll(x86 / 32-bit) | CMake |
| foobar2000 component | foobar2000/foo_24sevenfm_covers/ | foo_24sevenfm_covers.dll(x64) | MSBuild ( .vcxproj) |
| Core library | lib/ | coverfetch static lib (cross-platform) | CMake |
All three front-ends share the same Direct2D renderer (shared/d2d_*.cpp), the cover engine (shared/cover_engine.* — cover preload, crossfade/flip transitions, remaining-time countdown), the options page (shared/options_*), and the networking/parse library (lib/). The library alone (lib/) is portable C++11 and already cross-compiles for Android/iOS.

Dynamic Audio Normalizer ~ Advanced Normalization
Dynamic Audio Normalizer is a library for advanced audio normalization purposes. It applies a certain amount of gain to the input audio in order to bring its peak magnitude to a target level (e.g. 0 dBFS). However, in contrast to more “simple” normalization algorithms, the Dynamic Audio Normalizer dynamically re-adjusts the gain factor to the input audio. This allows for applying extra gain to the “quiet” sections of the audio while avoiding distortions or clipping the “loud” sections. In other words: The Dynamic Audio Normalizer will “even out” the volume of quiet and loud sections, in the sense that the volume of each section is brought to the same target level. Note, however, that the Dynamic Audio Normalizer achieves this goal without applying “dynamic range compressing”. It will retain 100% of the dynamic range within each “local” region of the audio file.
The Dynamic Audio Normalizer is available as a small standalone command-line utility and also as an effect in the SoX audio processor as well as in the FFmpeg audio/video converter. Furthermore, it can be integrated into your favorite DAW (digital audio workstation), as a VST plug-in, or into your favorite media player, as a Winamp plug-in. Last but not least, the “core” library can be integrated into custom applications easily, thanks to a straightforward API (application programming interface).

Omniphony ~ 3D & Multichannel Audio
Real-time spatial / object-based audio rendering engine (VBAP + binaural) for multichannel and 3D audio — speakers or headphones.
Omniphony decodes object-based audio, works out where every sound should come from, and drives your real speakers with VBAP — live, with a 3D scene showing each object move and everything streamed over OSC. Nothing’s a black box: formats load as runtime bridges, and the part that decides which speaker gets what is a backend you can rewrite in a single file.
- Write your own panner in one file — it shows up in the UI on its own.
- No formats baked in — decoders load at runtime as bridges.
- PipeWire on Linux, ASIO on Windows, or raw float straight to a file or pipe.

Audio Sharing ~ Stream Via RTSP
With Audio Sharing you can share your current computer audio playback in the form of an RTSP stream. This stream can then be played back by other devices, for example using VLC.
By sharing the audio as a network stream, you can also use common devices that are not intended to be used as audio sinks (eg. smartphones) to receive it. For example, there are audio accessories that are not compatible with desktop computers (e.g. because the computer does not have a Bluetooth module installed). With the help of this app, the computer audio can be played back on a smartphone, which is then connected to the Bluetooth accessory.
