Wigware Ambisonic Decoder (WAD)
Wigware Ambisonic Decoder (WAD)
This program now comes in two flavours, as a Direct Show filter and a VST plugin. The Direct Show Filter allows any Direct Show capable audio player software (such as Windows Media Player) the ability to read and decode B-format wave files (the format of which is specified here on Richard Dobson’s web page – details on the Waveformat extensible file format used can be found on Microsofts web site here – details on Ambisonics can be found here).
The VST version comes in 1st and 2nd order versions (3rd and 4th order versions to follow) and allows you to alter the polar patterns of the speaker feeds either across the whole frequency range or using ‘Shelf Filters’ with a variable cut-off. Both of the VST plugins will derive outputs for a standard ITU 5 speaker array, with higher orders giving better frontal resolution.

AudioPlayer ~ CD Image Player
This is an audio player for Windows, Linux and MacOS.
It is designed to play audio CDs dumped to raw bin/cue files.
The bin/cue files can be loaded from a folder on disk, or from a zip archive.
This player provides a convenient way of listening to dumps in that format without any additional step(s):
- No need to mount the cue file as a virtual drive.
- No need to extract the cue/bin files from zip files.
- No need to convert the data to wav/flac/ogg/mp3.
This is currently NOT supported:
- Playing from archives in 7z and rar formats.
- Playing music from other formats such as wav, mp3, flac, ogg, etc. Just use a regular music player for that.
Album and track metadata is loaded from the CDTEXT information when present in cue file.
Additional metadata is optionally retrieved from CueToolsDB, including album art.
Lyrics are optionally retrieved from LRCLIB. Using a local LRCLIB sqlite3 database is also supported.
