libxmp is a library that renders module files to PCM data. xmp is a module player for Unix-like systems, based on libxmp, that plays over 90 mainstream and obscure module formats from Amiga, Atari, Acorn, Apple IIgs and PC, including Protracker (MOD), Scream Tracker 3 (S3M), Fast Tracker II (XM) and Impulse Tracker (IT) files.

Mikmod is a module player and library supporting many formats, including mod, s3m, it, and xm. Originally a player for MS-DOS, MikMod has been ported to other platforms, such as Unix, Macintosh, BeOS, and Java(!!)

AudioCraft is a PyTorch library for text-to-audio and text-to-music generation, packaging research models and tooling for training and inference. It includes MusicGen for music generation conditioned on text (and optionally melody) and AudioGen for text-conditioned sound effects and environmental audio. Both models operate over discrete audio tokens produced by a neural codec (EnCodec), which acts like a tokenizer for waveforms and enables efficient sequence modeling. The repo provides inference scripts, checkpoints, and simple Python APIs so you can generate clips from prompts or incorporate the models into applications. It also contains training code and recipes, so researchers can fine-tune on custom data or explore new objectives without building infrastructure from scratch. Example notebooks, CLI tools, and audio utilities help with prompt design, conditioning on reference audio, and post-processing to produce ready-to-share outputs.

howler.js is an audio library for the modern web. It defaults to Web Audio API and falls back to HTML5 Audio. This makes working with audio in JavaScript easy and reliable across all platforms. Additional information, live demos and a user showcase are available at howlerjs.com. Single API for all audio needs, defaults to Web Audio API and falls back to HTML5 Audio, handles edge cases and bugs across environments, supports all codecs for full cross-browser support, automatic caching for improved performance, control sounds individually, in groups or globally, playback of multiple sounds at once. Easy sound sprite definition and playback, full control for fading, rate, seek, volume, etc. Easily add 3D spatial sound or stereo panning, modular - use what you want and easy to extend. No outside dependencies, just pure JavaScript. As light as 7kb gzipped.

miniaudio is written in C with no dependencies except the standard library and should compile cleanly on all major compilers without the need to install any additional development packages. All major desktop and mobile platforms are supported. miniaudio gives you complete flexibility. With the low-level API, just initialize a connection to the device and send or receive raw audio data. The modular design of miniaudio allows you to use the low-level API without compromising your ability to make use of other features like the node graph and resource manager. miniaudio's node graph system gives you an easy way to set up advanced mixing and effect graphs. Each node sends it's output to another node, and so on and so forth to produce all kinds of effects. You can even implement your own custom nodes and plug them in however you like. Plug multiple nodes into the same input node for mixing and use the splitter node for complex routing.

Drumstick is a tool to play music. This is a set of C++ MIDI libraries using Qt5 objects, idioms and style. It contains a C++ wrapper around the ALSA library sequencer interface; ALSA sequencer provides software support for MIDI technology on Linux. A complementary library provides classes for SMF (Standard MIDI files: .MID/.KAR), and Cakewalk (.WRK) file formats processing. A multiplatform realtime MIDI I/O library is also provided.

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

JACo MP3 Player is a cross platform java mp3 player. Features: very low CPU usage (~2%), incredible small library (~90KB), doesn't need JMF, easy to integrate in any application, easy to integrate in any web page (as applet).

This is an Ada package that can play WAV files on Windows, OSX, and Linux, using Ada tasking and OpenAL libraries. It includes a partial Ada binding to OpenAL. It provides sound-playing capabilities for Ada apps to * asynchronously start and stop music/sound loops, * initiate transient sounds, * allow unlimited sound concurrency. It is suitable for any Ada application that needs music, sound loops or transient sound effects; eg. games. The proper command to extract the archive and maintain the directory structure is "7z x filename".

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 (

Open Source HTML5 Web Audio Library. Design your web audio player, the way you want. No dependencies are required. AmplitudeJS is a lightweight JavaScript library that allows you to control the design of your media controls in your webpage, not the browser. No dependencies (jQuery not required). AmplitudeJS is available under the MIT License. Open-source software is not sustainable without proper financial support. Maintaining an open-source project takes a lot of effort and resources. If you are very thankful for what you can do with AmplitudeJS or if you are using AmplitudeJS to make any sort of revenue, we kindly ask that you contribute any resources available to keep the community growing. Autogenerate waveforms and visualizations using the Web Audio API. Public functions for unlimited control! All of our example players have the code available on our "AmplitudeJS Example Players" repository.

C# Wrapper for OpenAL via OpenTK allowing the playing of Ogg Vorbis files on any platform supporting Mono/.Net & OpenAL. Incorporates csvorbis & TagLibSharp from the Mono SVN.

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.

FFmpeg Audio Format for JUCE library - read and write audio formats supported by ffmpeg.

jSpeech is a Java library designed to integrate Speech-to-Text (STT) capabilities, command control, and diarization (speaker identification) into applications in a simple, modular, and decoupled way.

Pure Python bindings for JACK Audio

Play line by line with audio on page, demo: http://q3world.sourceforge.net

LibBWEntrainment is a Free and Open Source Brainwave Entrainment Library for Java. *** It is not a standalone application. *** The library is very flexible, allowing different types of renderers (isochronic, binaural, ...) as well as multiple output devices (speakers, file, socket or even screen), and it can easily be ported to other languages because it doesn't use any proprietary Java feature. Current features: -Javadoc and examples -Extremely lightweight, yet flexible -Easy to use -XML Presets -Multiple Entrainment Tracks -Looping -Isochronic rendering -Output to PC and Android -Output to MP3/FLAC/Wav file -Output to raw Stream Compared to my old LibBinaural, this is twice as fast and much more flexible. A project using this library is available here https://sourceforge.net/projects/isochronic/.

SkyMonome facilitates Monome hardware programming in Java by manipulating simple virtual entities like groups of leds, sequencers, etc... You don't need to know the OSC protocol at all. SkyMonome uses JavaOSC library and needs only Java 5.

SmallSynth is a Java Library to make easy and fast routines with MIDI.

Thank you for your interest in Speedy Composer. Speedy Composer is an automated application for composing melodies for Speedy Net members. We recently made changes to the source code of Speedy Net, and converted it into the Python language and Django framework. Since Speedy Composer was originally written in PHP, it is not adapted to work with Speedy Net in its current form. So unfortunately we were forced to temporarily close the app Speedy Composer. But don't worry, we kept backups of all the tunes composed by Speedy Composer, and when the website is reopened we will upload them to the new site. Speedy Composer and Speedy Net are open source applications, free software. We are currently looking for volunteers to help us convert Speedy Composer to Python. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact me by email. Thank you and good luck, Uri Rodberg Founder and Director of Speedy Net and Speedy Composer, Speedy Paz Technologies Ltd. uri@speedy.net
