Open Source Linux Audio Conversion Software

Python Audio Tools are a collection of audio handling programs. These include programs for CD extraction, track conversion from one audio format to another, track renaming and retagging, track identification, CD burning from tracks, and more.

JAAD is an open-source AAC decoder and MP4 demultiplexer library written completely in Java. It is platform-independent and portable.

libTiMidity is a MIDI to WAVE converter library that uses Gravis Ultrasound-compatible patch files to generate digital audio data from General MIDI files. This library based on the TiMidity decoder from SDL_sound library.

EnDiskEx is a command-line tool that bulk extracts instruments, sequences, songs, and banks from Ensoniq-formatted disk images (RAW, GKH, EDE, and EDA) for the EPS/ASR family of samplers. The extracted files are saved as EFE / SMF / TXT files. EnDiskEx is designed to extract Ensoniq banks for re-creation within a different DAW. It will track down the instrument and song files from bank references even if they were saved on another disk. There also exists a disk mapping feature to correct for any errors in this process caused by having relabeled disks, forgotten to label disks, etc. EnDiskEx has been tested and validated against a variety of RAW, GKH, EDE, and EDA images files the dev team has, including but not limited to, the ASR factory disks, the EPS 16+ factory disks, and the EPS (classic) factory disks.

GNU/Shoes is a wrapper for the Sox audio utility. Written in Perl for Linux and Win32, GNU/Shoes aids the tedious process of converting large numbers of audio files, and provides Jabber messages to notify the user that a batch is complete.

Command line tool handling steps to clean, calibrate, process, mix, master and deliver music tracks from recordings. Easy-to-use configuration files drive the complete processes.

A C and C++ Library + a compiler to create Adobe Flash SWF movies up to version 9 (v1.8.1). Supports nearly all the tags, includes an ActionScript compiler. Detailed docs and other tools: convert fonts to Flash, decompile Flash, jpg2swf. LASTEST IS 1.8.4

The JAVE (Java Audio Video Encoder) library is Java wrapper on the ffmpeg project. Developers can take take advantage of JAVE to transcode audio and video files from a format to another (

GBAconv is a set of tools aimed at GameBoy Advance developers, allowing to convert WAV sounds and PCX images into C arrays to be included in GBA programs.

The OSALP is a C++ class library that contains everything one needs to build an audio application. It contains a powerful chaining concept so programmers can build an audio application by selecting the building blocks they need.

BAC is a command-line tool that converts, to a target audio file format, all the audio files stored in a directory tree of any depth. Supported file formats are OGG, FLAC, MP3, AAC, ALAC, WAV, in all ways, and WMA as source. Main audio tags are preserved in the process, as well as most file name characters (white spaces, question marks etc). BAC runs on Linux and probably most UNIX-type OSes. On Windows, it must be operated from the Cygwin environment. It requires the following software to be installed: - flac and metaflac (flac files only) - vorbis-tools (ogg files only) - faac and faad (aac files only) - lame and madplay (mp3 files only) - alac-decoder and mpeg4ip-utils (ALAC decode) - ffmpeg (ALAC encode, wma decode) - mplayer (wma decode) - mp4v2-utils (AAC, ALAC, WAV decode) BAC is now optimized for multiprocessing on multicore systems: a tunable number of cores can be used for simultaneous conversions.

Convert copy. Pipes existing converter tools together to convert files from a format to another. E.g. add the converters 'pdf -> text' and 'text -> wav' and you can convert pdf to wav. Automatically installs missing converters in Debian.

Elucidation is a Python module designed to be an extremely powerful backend for audio and video converters. The aim of the module is to do all the heavy lifting while applications using it are little more than interfaces to it.

Command line tool which automatically cuts very big MP3 files according to a timeline, without having to convert to an intermediate format and without the need for huge quantities of RAM or disk space. Each subfile can be automatically postprocessed with

A utility to allow the analysis and conversion of Native Instruments Reaktor save files. Specifically, the conversion of said files to an XML file, which can then be converted to a number of various other formats. (Ex: pd, Max/MSP, Csound...)

The audio CD image extractor library and console application. It can unpack various audio image formats and store audio tracks as media files. Supported input formats: CUE, NRG (Nero), WavPack. Supported output formats: mp3, wav.

Giveme is a command line tool that converts files of various audio formats to the format of your inclination, converting multiple files at once, taking advantage of the increasing number of users with multicore computers.
