ARver is a command-line program for verifying audio tracks ripped from a CD against checksums stored in AccurateRip database.
The idea behind AccurateRip verification is that it’s virtually impossible to get exact same errors when ripping different copies of the same CD on various CD drives. If the copies are scratched or otherwise degraded, read errors will occur in different disc sectors. CD drive defects are unlikely to manifest in the same way on different machines. Essentially, all read errors are expected to be unique, but in absence of errors only a single correct result exists.
AccurateRip database stores track checksums submitted by multiple users. When many users rip the same disc without errors, same checksums are submitted to the database repeatably, boosting their “confidence” statistic. If a checksum of a ripped track is not found in the database, it indicates that the track has not been ripped correctly. Since the result is unique, disc read errors likely occurred while ripping.
ARver calculates the AccurateRip checksums of local files, fetches checksums for a given CD from the database, and displays a report which compares them.
xmp is a module player for Unix-like systems that plays over 90 mainstream and obscure module formats from Amiga, Atari, Acorn, Apple IIgs and PC, including Protracker (MOD), Scream Tracker 3 (S3M), Fast Tracker II (XM) and Impulse Tracker (IT) files.
BruteFIR is a software convolution engine, a program for applying long FIR filters to multi-channel digital audio, either offline or in real-time. Its basic operation is specified through a configuration file, and filters, attenuation and delay can be changed in runtime through a simple command line interface. The FIR filter algorithm used is an optimized frequency domain algorithm, partly implemented in hand-coded assembler, thus throughput is extremely high. In real-time, a standard computer can typically run more than 10 channels with more than 60000 filter taps each.
Through its highly modular design, things like adaptive filtering, signal generators and sample I/O are easily added, extended and modified, without the need to alter the program itself.
Vitomu stands for VIdeo TOMUsic converter. It allows easy conversion of online and offline videos to audio files. Just drop a URL or a local video file on the target to start the conversion. The current version supports dropping URLs of both YouTube videos and local MKV and MP4 files.
A plugin to use BruteFIR software convolution engine with Slim DevicesSqueezeCenter clients for Digital Room Correction. Provides transparent automatic switching of filters for different sample rates. Filter creation can be done with DRC, Audiolense, Acourate or other DRC software.
An optional loudness correction using the digital volume control can be applied. The loudness features uses SoX loudness that is based on the ISO 226 curves.
Features:
On the fly digital room correction for LogitechMediaServer (formerly SqueezeBoxServer)
Automatic selection of filter for samplerate
Loudness correction via digial volume control using ISO 226
Resampling of filter for samplerate if none exists
Gapless playback
removal of silence in music
Application of ReplayGain with and without loss of bit depth/resolution

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.
