Two flac2mp3 Scripts

Posted by tom2tec on 

flac2mp3 is a perl script that will search for flac files within
a directory hierarchy and convert them all to mp3 format, creating a
matching directory structure in the process.
robinbowes.github.io/flac2mp3
github.com/robinbowes/flac2mp3

This is a python script for transcoding flac files into mp3 files keeping covers, tags, and directory structure. It is multithreaded and creates as much thread as the number of cores on the host. The flac tags will be added to the mp3 files ut8 encoded, and if a cover.jpg file is found in the flac files directory it will be added to the mp3.

The mp3 generated will be itunes compliant (accents, covers) and encoded with lame command :

lame --silent -V2 --vbr-new -q0 --lowpass 19.7 --resample 44100

Axone.jar ~ mp3 Examination

Posted by tom2tec on

Axone.jar is a utility allowing you to view all the information available in an MP3 file. This is not to be misunderstood: all the possible information. In the tag version 2 (ID3V2), the information is subdivided into frames and there are many more frames declared than frames actually displayed by MP3 players. Well Axone.jar knows how to display them all, without exceptions and whatever the version!

  • Very classic frames such as title, album, artist, year, genre, track and comment.
  • Other frames displayed by only some MP3 players.
    • the image(s).
    • the composer.
    • the text of the song.
    • volume control (itunes)
  • The frames that are hidden from you (not necessarily with bad intentions).
    • private frames (MusicMatch).
    • encapsulated objects (RealJukebox).
    • abusive comments (iTunes, Mediaplayer, MusicMatch, SoundJam).
    • identification of coding software (LAME, iTunes)
    • the identification of the original CD (LAME)
    • internet links (MusicMatch)
  • Undeclared frames, not understood and therefore clearly hidden from all MP3 players.
  • The other frames usually not used.

Other data

The Lyrics and TAG+ tags, which are completely obsolete, may remain forgotten in certain files. If they are present, Axone.jar displays them.

When the software reads an MP3 file to display the current tag, it does a summary check of the audio data. It gives you the classic information on bitrate, sampling frequency, duration, etc.; but also if it finds excess or erroneous data. Excess data can be a sign of corrupted audio data, or of data intentionally hidden if the file was purchased on a merchant site (or if you did P2P). At this level, it is important to understand that the audio decoder is robust in the sense that data that is incomprehensible to it is simply skipped. It is therefore very easy to hide data between audio data, without risking disturbing MP3 players.

Correlometer ~ Multi-band Correlation Meter

Posted by tom2tec on

Correlometer is an analog-style stereo multi-band correlation meter.

Multi-band correlation meter is an advanced way to check for presence of out-of-phase elements in the mix. Broadband correlation metering reports overall phase issues and may misrepresent problems present in select spectral bands, while multi-band correlation meter easily highlights problems present in mid to high frequencies that are not easily heard by ear, but may still reduce clarity of the mix. Another application of multi-band correlation metering is phase- and time-aligning of channels and tracks, especially bass and bass-drum pairs, guitar mic and D.I. source pairs, two-microphone stereo recordings, etc.

Correlometer can display 4 to 64 individual spectral bands, with adjustable band quality factor that controls the degree of band’s selectivity. Averaging time of correlation estimator can be adjusted. Correlometer supports side-chain inputs for easy correlation estimation between separate audio tracks.

  • 4 to 64 band correlation meter.
  • Adjustable band quality factor.
  • Adjustable averaging time.
  • Side-chain input.
  • Resizable user interface.
  • All sample rates support.
  • Zero processing latency.
  • User interface color schemes.
  • Retina and High DPI support.

Wave Lens ~ Scan Audio To Find Artifacts & Defects

Posted by tom2tec on

This application can be used to find artifacts in audio files generated by signal processors. It analyses the signal variance across the audio duration, then generates a graph of the results.

The following types of audio can analysed:
* Music
* Sine Tones
* Noise (White, Pink, etc)

If the audio recording is split across multiple files, they can be loaded into this application collectively and will be treated as a single stream. Multiple batches can also be loaded, in order to process multiple recordings in one continuous operation. The scanners can only process audio files up to 2.5GB, but the file splitter function can be used to break up large files into smaller ones.
