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.
Stream from LMS and send audio to the build-in amplifier, the line-out jack, the spdif connector or another Bluetooth speaker. You can also use an external I2S DAC if you connect it to the general purpose 5/8 pins connector and tweak the software. Synchronization works.
Stream from a Bluetooth device and send audio to the same outputs, except of course for sending to another Bluetooth speaker … There is no guarantee of audio/video synchronization at this point
Stream from an AirPlay1 device (iPhone, iTunes …) to the same outputs, including to a Bluetooth speaker. Synchronization works.
Add your own buttons, rotary encoder and map/combine them to various functions (play, pause, volume, next …
Use IR control by adding a simple receiver compatible with 38kHz device (no pullup resistor or capacitor needed)
Add a display like this one which can be directly connected to the 6-pins header. Currently SH1106, SSD1306, SSD1322, SSD1326/7, SSD1351, ST7735 and ST7789 displays are supported.
CrossOver is a plugin to split an incoming signal into several (at most 4) frequency ranges. It can be used to build your own multiband effects within a modular (sub)host environment. By using only 2 bands, you can also create bass-effects. These are effects which keep the low frequency range dry and affect only the high frequency range. The band-splitting is done by complementary pairs of Linkwitz-Riley lowpass/highpass filters, the slope of which is adjustable between 12 and 96 dB/oct. For configurations with more than 2 output bands, the signal is first split into 2 bands (low and high) and then the low or high or both bands is/are split further, thus the splitting is done in a hierarchical manner.
foo_vis_milk2 is a port for foobar2000 of Winamp’s MilkDrop 2 music visualizer. It additionally migrates rendering from its original DirectX 9 to DirectX 11.
MilkDrop 2 takes you flying through visualizations of the soundwaves you’re hearing. It uses beat detection to trigger myriad psychedelic effects, creating a rich visual journey through sound.
Features:
Uses DirectX 11 for rendering.
Uses updated libraries.
vis_milk2 has been upgraded to use more modern C++ alongside DirectX 11. Deprecated or insecure functions have been rewritten and most unused functionality removed.
Configurable through foobar2000 preferences instead of INI files.
Supports the Default User Interface (Default UI) only.
Tested on foobar2000 v2.1.2 (x86 32-bit and x86 64-bit) and Microsoft Windows 11 (Build 22621).

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.
daktilo (“typewriter” in Turkish, pronounced “duck-til-oh”, derived from the Ancient Greek word δάκτυλος for “finger”) is a small command-line program that plays typewriter sounds every time you press a key. It also offers the flexibility to customize keypress sounds to your liking. You can use the built-in sound presets to create an enjoyable typing experience, whether you’re crafting emails or up to some prank on your boss.
