Sfront
compiles MPEG 4
Structured Audio (MP4-SA) bitstreams into efficient C programs that generate
audio when executed. MP4-SA is a standard for normative algorithmic sound, that
combines an audio signal processing language (SAOL) with score languages (SASL,
and the legacy MIDI File Format). Under Linux, sfront supports real-time,
low-latency audio input/output and MIDI input from soundcards. The website
includes an online book about MP4-SA.

MIDI to WAVE converter
platform: Linux
is a powerful tool that lets you forget the bother of creating Csound input
or renting expensive audio studios forever! Midi2Cs creates Csound rendering
input from midifiles and your own WAV and AIFF files on the fly. Also Csound
orchestra files can be taken as input which provides all kinds of synthesizing
and much more. With Midi2Cs and Csound you are able to create audio tracks of
MIDI files without external samplers directly on the harddisk of your machine.
The result after processing Midi2Cs's output with Csound are audio tracks in a
professional quality - ready to use with soundeditors, harddiskrecording
systems, ADATs and so on. Get your FREE COPY for DOS, Linux, SunOS, IRIX and

A freeware MP3 encoder. It is based on the same ISO compression routines as
mpegEnc, so you can expect roughly the same, or better, quality . The main
difference is the appearance and speed. BladeEnc doesn't have a nice,
user-friendly interface like mpegEnc, but it is more than three times faster,
and it works with several popular front-end graphical user interfaces.
(MP3 <-> WAV)
- Reads standard WAV- and AIFF-files.
- Batch encoding. Can encode any number of samples in a row.
- Wildcards supported. You can for example encode all WAV-files in a
directory by typing "*.WAV".
- Stereo or Mono output. Can downmix to Mono on the fly.
- Supports the following bitrates: 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 160,
192, 224, 256 and 320 kBit/s.
- Flags like Private, Original and Copyright can be set.
- Input sample can be automatically deleted after encoding.
- Input samples can be in either 32, 44.1 or 48 kHz.
- Both 8 and 16-bit samples are supported.
- Can emulate the behaviour of L3Enc so you can use any L3Enc frontend with
BladeEnc!
- Task priority can be set from the commandline and is by default set to
LOWEST so that you still can use your computer effectively while encoding.
MP3c
is a curses-based audio-cd to MP3-converter, with CDDB support. It has
a menu-environment and a batchmode implemented (which let you encode
automatically via cron for example). MP3c tries to find the most useful
information in a CDDB-entry, and even recognizes sampler-cds correctly.
