Winyl is a free digital audio player and music library application for organizing and playing audio on Windows.
Winyl offers great new ways to organize and enjoy all your music. Listen to music and radio, rate your favorite tracks, create playlists, browse song lyrics, tag music, all of this is very simple in Winyl.
Winyl uses the least system resources, it starts and working very fast. It’s the best choice for a laptop or netbook.
Audio DiffMaker is a freeware tool set intended to help determine the absolute difference between two audio recordings, while neglecting differences due to level difference, time synchronization, or simple linear frequency responses.
The difference recording that results is only what has changed between the two recordings. If anything – a change of component, a treatment, mechanical damping, etc. – is having any audible effect on the audio signal in a system, the difference recording will have audible content. The end result is primarily intended to be evaluated by ear.

This utility allows you, among other things, to read, edit, and write back the cue lists embedded in WAV files by audio editing programs such as Adobe Audition. Cue lists can be saved as small text files and shared with other users.
Joins one or more WAV files together. If you rip a five CD book on tape, you’ll have a cluttered mess of about sixty audio files. WaveCat can turn your sixty files into one convenient large wav file. Suggestion: CDex –> WaveCat –> WinLame –> Single MP3 file.
Feature
Concatenates multiple Wav files into one large file.
Burrrn is a little tool for creating audio CDs with CD-Text from various audio files. Supported formats are: wav, mp3, mpc, ogg, aac, mp4, ape, flac, ofr, wv, tta, m3u, pls and fpl playlists and cue sheets. You can also burn EAC’s noncompliant image + cue sheets! Burrrn can read all types of tags from all these formats (including ape tags in mp3). Burrrn uses cdrdao.exe for burning.
Under-reads very short peaks slightly like a traditional BBC PPM. Fallback ballistics are accurately modelled but the attack time (eg the BBC spec of 2.5dB down for a 10ms burst of 5Khz) is only approximate. Very short peaks such as 1.5ms register -4dB instead of -9dB as per spec. The fallback time from 1 to 7 is in line with BBC specifications, 2.5 to 3 seconds. You may prefer a faster fallback, especially as there are the peak markers, so the fallback time can be adjusted by means of an arbitrary value entered on the options page. A value of 2 corresponds to the BBC PPM spec. Values up to 10 speed up the decay.
Mono matrix can be set to M = (A+B) – 3dB or 6dB. Traditionally the BBC have used M3, though M6 is increasingly used. Channels can be labelled L & R or A & B. Displays Left, Right, Mono (sum) and Stereo (difference) simultaneously.
The peak markers can be set to hold the peak. Click on the window to reset.
There is also a 20dB button. This increases the gain of of the Stereo difference indication by 20dB (10 times). M, L & R are not affected.
The colour of each bar can be set to any colour from the options screen. By default all bars are green but it possible to have, for example, red and green for A and B.
With 0.1dB resolution readout, ideal for accurate steady state measurements or for reading peaks however short.
For Windows XP, Vista, 7 or above. Requires WDM drivers, does not support ASIO.
The button to the left of the readout switches the digital readout to follow the maximum peak markers or the instantaneous ‘live’ peaks. In conjunction with the peak hold feature this enables transient peaks to be read accurately.
Zero is referenced to Full Scale Digital, although this can be modified with the calibration adjustment to provide some headroom as required.
Sample rate can be set to match recording if necessary.
Infinite peak hold setting if required, even across program restarts. Reset by double-clicking meter display.
If you need to run multiple meters monitoring more than one source there is a Multi-Channel Level Meter for up to 24 channels.
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).
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 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.
