Ear Tag ~ Edit Audio File Tags

Posted by tom2tec on

Ear Tag is a simple audio file tag editor. It is primarily geared towards making quick edits or bulk-editing tracks in albums/EPs. Unlike other tagging programs, Ear Tag does not require the user to set up a music library folder. It can:

  • Edit tags of MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG and WMA files
  • Modify metadata of multiple files at once
  • Rename files using information from present tags
  • Identify files using AcoustID

Network access is only used for the “Identify selected files” option.

shntool ~ WAVE Processing & Reporting Utility

Posted by tom2tec on

shntool is a multi-purpose WAVE data processing and reporting utility. File formats are abstracted from its core, so it can process any file that contains WAVE data, compressed or not – provided there exists a format module to handle that particular file type.

shntool has native support for .wav files. If you want it to work with other lossless audio formats, you must have the appropriate helper program installed. The “Helper programs” section below contains links to helper programs for each format that shntool supports.

MIDITONES ~ MIDI To Simple Bitstream Conversion

Posted by tom2tec on 

MIDITONES: Convert a MIDI file into a simple bytestream of notes.

MIDITONES compiles a MIDI music file into a much simplified compact time-ordered stream of commands, so that the music can easily be played on a small microcontroller-based synthesizer that has only simple tone generators. This is on github at www.github.com/LenShustek/miditones.

Volume ("velocity") and instrument information in the MIDI file can either be discarded or kept. All the tracks are processed and merged into a single time-ordered stream of "note on", "note off", "change instrument" and "delay" commands.

MIDITONES was written for the "Playtune" series of Arduino and Teensy microcontroller software synthesizers.

Schism Tracker ~ Create High Quality Music

Posted by tom2tec on

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.
