Foo Scrobbler (foo_scrobbler_mac) is a native Last.fm scrobbling plugin for foobar2000 on macOS. Submits tracks based on precise playback rules, caches scrobbles when offline, and operates silently after one-time authentication. Built using the official foobar2000 plugin API, it focuses on reliability, low overhead, and correct metadata handling. Fully open-source under GPLv3.
caudec is a command-line utility that transcodes (converts) audio files from one format (codec) to another, among other things.
It leverages multi-core CPUs and runs multiple processes concurrently (one per file and per codec, and more than one thread per codec when it supports it). The objective is to hog the CPU as much and as long as possible. One strategy is to sort input files by size, so that the largest files potentially get more threads towards the end of the job.
Supported output formats / codecs: all of the above, as well as LossyWAV / LossyFLAC, MP3, AAC (.m4a), Ogg Vorbis, Opus.
Supported platforms: macOS, Linux.
Transcoding to several different codecs at once is possible. In that case, decoding of input files is done only once.
Metadata is preserved (as much as possible) from one codec to another.
Artwork can be embedded into each file, and / or copied to the output directory. It can be done selectively (e.g. embed and / or copy one image for lossless files, and another image for lossy files).
Audio can be resampled (e.g. 48kHz to 44.1kHz) and downmixed (e.g. 6 channels to stereo). A profile can be provided to set a maximum value for the number of channels, bit depth and sampling rate. When a profile is provided, the source will only be altered after decoding and before encoding, if some metric of the source is above the given profile.
Multiprocess ReplayGain scanner for FLAC, WavPack, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, Opus.
Ability to hard link lossy files to a different directory when encoding to WavPack Hybrid. The point is to have two libraries that takes the storage of just one, with a lossy collection that has its own root directory and that’s easy to drag and drop to a device such as a smartphone or a Digital Audio Player (DAP).
Ability to touch files and album directories using metadata to reflect the music’s release date and duration (see example below).
Buzz transcribes and translates audio to text offline using OpenAI’s Whisper. Import audio and video files into Buzz and export them as TXT, SRT, or VTT files. Buzz supports Whisper, Whisper.cpp, Faster Whisper, Whisper-compatible models from the Hugging Face repository, and the OpenAI Whisper API.

Vulkan acceleration support for Whisper.cpp on most GPUs, including integrated GPUs
Export transcripts to TXT, SRT, and VTT
Advanced Transcription Viewer with search, playback controls, and speed adjustment
Keyboard shortcuts for efficient navigation
Watch folder for automatic transcription of new files
Command-Line Interface for scripting and automation
Clamps, short for “Common Lisp Aided Music Production System”, is a software system for realtime and non-realtime music production written in Common Lisp. It enables a seamless workflow between high-level structures to define musical processes all the way down to low level DSP definitions for sound creation including browser based interfaces for interactive work and control useable for live performances. In that respect it combines features of systems like OpenMusic, SuperCollider or the Pure Data/Max family of software.
Bitter shows how many of the available bits are being used by the audio signal, reports clipping samples, and estimates when digital-to-analog conversion would cause inter-sample clips. Typical uses for a bitscope include: verifying that a render dither is working properly; verifying that a particular plugin is not reducing the signal bit depth; testing for faulty audio source data.
Features:
Check for Intersample Clipping that may appear during digital-to-analog conversion
Detailed display of the usage density of each bit
Reveal the bitrate of the digital signal, which may well differ from that of the file’s bitrate or your DAW’s audio engine bitrate
OpenMusic (OM) is a visual programming language based on Common Lisp. Visual programs are created by assembling and connecting icons representing functions and data structures. Most programming and operations are performed by dragging an icon from a particular place and dropping it to an other place. Built-in visual control structures (e.g. loops) are provided, that interface with Lisp ones. Existing CommonLisp/CLOS code can easily be used in OM, and new code can be developed in a visual way.
OM may be used as a general purpose functional/object/visual programming language. At a more specialized level, a set of provided classes and libraries make it a very convenient environment for music composition. Above the OpenMusic kernel, live the OpenMusic Projects. A project is a specialized set of classes and methods written in Lisp, accessible and visualisable in the OM environment. Various classes implementing musical data / behaviour are provided. They are associated with graphical editors and may be extended by the user to meet specific needs. Different representations of a musical process are handled, among which common notation, midi piano-roll, sound signal. High level in-time organisation of the music material is proposed through the concept of “maquette”.
OM-SoX is a library for multichannel audio manipulation and functional batch processing for OpenMusic, a visual programming environment based on CommonLisp / CLOS.
Amethyst is an cross-platform audio player with a node-basedaudio routing system, the main goal of this project is to make a music player in TypeScript to see how far the language can be stretched to prove it’s possible to provide pro-level features as most DAWs / DAEs, while also providing useful tools and customizability to the end-user.

Schism Tracker is a free and open-source reimplementation of Impulse Tracker, a program used to create high quality music without the requirements of specialized, expensive equipment, and with a unique “finger feel” that is difficult to replicate in part. The player is based on a highly modified version of the ModPlug engine, with a number of bugfixes and changes to improve IT playback.
Where Impulse Tracker was limited to i386-based systems running MS-DOS, Schism Tracker runs on almost any platform that SDL supports, and has been successfully built for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, AmigaOS, BeOS, and even Wii. Schism will most likely build on any architecture supported by GCC4 (e.g. alpha, m68k, arm, etc.) but it will probably not be as well-optimized on many systems.
