BassBoom ~ Music App & Library


BassBoom is a music player made with C# using the fast mpg123 library as the native backend that handles the music playback and song information, including the playback device information.

This library is a viable library aimed for cross-platform music playing because we’ve selected mpg123 as the MP3 backend library for its ease of use and for its fast music playback. This library is frictionless as it aims for stability and cross-platform compatibility.

In addition to your regular music files, BassBoom also supports online MPEG radio stations that you can use to play your own favorite radio stations, as long as they don’t use AAC or any other codec that BassBoom doesn’t support.

WACUP ~ Emulated Winamp


A media player that’s made to emulate some of your favourite media players from the past & bring them into the future. WACUP (which can be pronounced as wakeup or wac-up or however you prefer it in your native tongue) is my vision of what a media player should be whilst still being compatible with the plug-ins for some of the most popular media players that you are used to. My plan is to include bug fixes, updates of existing features & most importantly new features with the goal to eventually become its own highly compatible media player.

WACUP is heavily based around a plug-in system making it simple to tailor you WACUP install to be what you want it to be. When it’s finally out of being a preview build, an SDK will eventually be offered so new plugins can then be made to add additional features.

CUE/WAV Extract Utility


This is an utility for batch extraction of individual tracks from .CUE/.WAV audio disk images, which for instance, are created by Exact Audio Copy software.

While PC users still have other methods of playing tracks from CUE files (by e.g. using Foobar2000, or mounting the image via Daemon Tools), Mac OS X users’ choice is limited, so therefore this utility was written.

The utility is built using Trolltech/Nokia Qt, and those, who would like to rebuild it from the source code – will require this library.

This software is in a public domain and thus can be used or modified for any purpose.
