SoX

Welcome to the home of SoX, the Swiss Army knife of sound processing programs.

Sample Converter

OSX
Linux
Windows

SoX is a command line utility that can convert various formats of computer audio files in to other formats. For example, it can convert a Microsoft WAV file into an Apple AIFF file. It can also apply various effects to these sound files during the conversion. As an added bonus, SoX can play and record audio files on many common platforms. For software developers, SoX functionality is also available as a library

flac

FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec, an audio format similar to MP3, but lossless, meaning that audio is compressed in FLAC without any loss in quality. This is similar to how Zip works, except with FLAC you will get much better compression because it is designed specifically for audio, and you can play back compressed FLAC files in your favorite player (or your car or home stereo, see supported devices) just like you would an MP3 file.

FFmpeg

FFmpeg is the leading multimedia framework, able to decode, encode, transcode, mux, demux, stream, filter and play pretty much anything that humans and machines have created. It supports the most obscure ancient formats up to the cutting edge. No matter if they were designed by some standards committee, the community or a corporation. It contains libavcodec, libavutil, libavformat, libavdevice, libswscale and libswresample which can be used by applications. As well as ffmpeg, ffserver, ffplay and ffprobe which can be used by end users for transcoding, streaming and playing
