shntool ~ WAVE Processing & Reporting Utility


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.

CUE/WAV Extract Utility


This is an utility for batch extraction of individual tracks from .CUE/.WAV audio disk images, which for instance, are created by Exact Audio Copy software.

While PC users still have other methods of playing tracks from CUE files (by e.g. using Foobar2000, or mounting the image via Daemon Tools), Mac OS X users’ choice is limited, so therefore this utility was written.

The utility is built using Trolltech/Nokia Qt, and those, who would like to rebuild it from the source code – will require this library.

This software is in a public domain and thus can be used or modified for any purpose.

Feature

  • Concatenates multiple Wav files into one large file.

wavegain ~ Replaygain For Wave Files


WaveGain is an application of the ReplayGain algorithms to standard PCM wave files. Calculated gain adjustments are applied directly to the audio data, instead of just writing metadata as traditionally done for other formats like MP3, FLAC and Ogg Vorbis. The replaygain values can also be added as metadata in a custom RIFF chunk named ‘gain’. This could theoretically allow WAV files to have same lossless functionality as other formats where audio data is not altered. But since no current players are aware of this “standard”, the metadata is used only by WaveGain for the “–undo-gain” feature, which is lossy.
