Audacity |
|
Audacity is a free, easy-to-use audio
editor and recorder for Windows, Mac OS X, GNU/Linux,
and other operating systems. You can use Audacity to:
Record live audio, convert
tapes and records into digital recordings or CDs,
edit Ogg Vorbis, MP3, and WAV sound files,
cut, copy, splice, and mix sounds together,
change the speed or pitch of a recording.
Audacity is nowadays an
application very known, and there is not a lot we can
add about it. It has not all the features of some of its
competitors (apps that cost hundreds of dollars), but is
very steady, especially for users that do not need of
particularly specific features.

Max 0.5.5 |

Max is an application for creating
high-quality audio files in various formats, from
compact discs or files. When
extracting audio from compact discs, Max offers the
maximum in flexibility to ensure the true sound of your
CD is faithfully extracted. For pristine discs, Max
offers a high-speed ripper with no error correction. For
damaged discs, Max can either use its built-in
comparison ripper (for drives that cache audio) or the
error-correcting power of
cdparanoia.
Once the audio is extracted, Max can
generate audio in over 20 compressed and uncompressed
formats including MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, AAC, Apple
Lossless, Monkey's Audio, WavPack, Speex, AIFF, and

Tunatic |
|
Tunatic originates from a
very funny idea: identifying a song through the microphone. When you
click Tunatic's ‘search’ button, Tunatic transmits the song's features to the
Tunatic server. The server searches its database and returns the matching song.
It can identify music from any genre except
classical.
Tunatic can only identify songs that were indexed into its database, which is
kept up-to-date by the community of Tunatic users through a program called
Tunalyzer. If you
like a particular genre or artist and feel concerned about its being
identifyable through Tunatic, use Tunalyzer to contribute to the Tunatic
database.
For making Tunatic work, you have to install on your system
another free app,
Jack Osx.

AudioSlicer |
|
AudioSlicer is an application for Mac
OS X that finds all silences in an audio file and allows you to split it into
several smaller audio files and to name/tag them properly.
While most other tools doing this split automatically according to certain
criteria, AudioSlicer shows you all silences within a certain range of duration.
You can then listen to the silence - well, to the audio before and after the
silence really - and then you decide if you want to split there.
The splitting is done without loss, there is no decoding and re-encoding of
audio data taking place.
Only mp3 format is currently supported (hope
other formats will be supported in the future).
