OptimFROG 4.600ex
OptimFROG is a lossless audio compression program. more>> What is OptimFROG?
OptimFROG is a lossless audio compression program. Its main goal is to reduce at maximum the size of audio files, while permitting bit identical restoration for all input. It is similar with the ZIP compression, but it is highly specialized to compress audio data.
OptimFROG obtains asymptotically the best lossless audio compression ratios. It has Windows, Linux, and Mac versions, fully featured input plug-ins for the Windows Media Player, foobar2000, Winamp2/3/5, dBpowerAMP, XMPlay, QCD, and XMMS audio players (with bitstream error resilience, ID3v1.1 and APEv2 read tagging support, ID3v2 compatible), optimal support for all integer PCM wave formats up to 32 bits and an extensible streamable (error tolerant) compressed format. It is also fast, the default mode encodes CD quality audio data at 12.4x real-time and decodes at 17.4x real-time on AMD Athlon XP 1800+ (the fastest mode encodes at 28.1x real-time and decodes at 24.7x real-time). Self-extracting (sfx) archives can also be created with a small overhead of just 54 KB.
The compression ratios which can obtained with OptimFROG are generally ranging from 25% (silent classical music) to 70% (loud rock music) of the original audio file size. This is less compared with around 13% obtained with high quality MP3 files (~176 kb), but you have the great advantage of archiving and listening at perfect copies of your original music.
OptimFROG uses a new audio compression technology, the generalized stereo decorrelation concept (together with the optimal predictor), which was first introduced with OptimFROG 4.0b in December 2001. At the time of its introduction, the new technology yielded significant better (~1.5%) compression than existing state of the art lossless audio compressors.<<less

Mareo 5.0
MAREO (dizziness in spanish) is a special command line encoder for CD rippers more>>
Once properly configured, a CD ripper, after each successful ripped track, would call MAREO as if it where a command line (CLI) encoder, whom in turn would execute all the encoders it has been instructed to, passing them the required parameters such as source and destination file, album author, album name, track number, track name, album date, album genre, etc.
It can also be used to execute pre and post-processor programs, like WaveGain and MP3Gain respectively. And is also capable of understanding/handling "multi-file-generator" encoders, like OptimFROG and WavPack. It is usually used, for example, to rip to FLAC (for archival) and MP3 (for MP3 Player use), or to MPC (for PC playing) and to Ogg Vorbis (for portable playing).
MAREO comes pre-configured, and has been tested to work with:
- 1. LAME MP3
- 2. Ogg Vorbis
- 3. iTunes MP4/AAC (w/iTunesEncode)
- 4. QuickTime Pro MP4/AAC (w/Qutibacoas)
- 5. Nero Digital Quality MP4 & 3GPP Audio Codec
- 6. Nero AAC (w/NAACenc)
- 7. MusePack
- 8. FLAC
- 9. WavPack (including hybrid with correction file)
- 10. OptimFROG (including correction file)
- 11. WaveGain
- 12. MP3Gain
- 13. WAPET
- 14. AtomicParsley

Subsonic 3.5 Beta 1 / 3.4
a free, web-based media streamer, providing access to your entire music collection wherever you are more>> a free, web-based media streamer, providing access to your entire music collection wherever you are
Use Subsonic to share your music with friends, or to listen to your own music while at work. You can stream to multiple players simultaneously, for instance to one player in your kitchen and another in your living room.
Subsonic is designed to handle very large music collections (many thousand albums). Subsonic uses a combination of directory structure and tag parsing to organize the music.
Although optimized for MP3 streaming, it works for any audio or video format that can stream over HTTP (for instance AAC and OGG). By using transcoder plug-ins, Subsonic supports on-the-fly conversion and streaming of virtually any audio format, including FLAC, APE, WMA, Musepack, WavPack, Shorten and OptimFROG.
If you have constrained bandwidth, you may set an upper limit for the bitrate of the music streams. Subsonic will then automatically resample the music to a suitable bitrate.
In addition to being a streaming media server, Subsonic works very well as a local jukebox. The intuitive web interface, as well as search and index facilities, are optimized for efficient browsing through large media libraries.
Main features:
- Supports MP3, OGG, AAC and any other audio or video format that can be streamed over HTTP.
- Transcoding engine allows for streaming of a variety of lossy and lossless formats by converting to MP3 on-the-fly.
- Works with any network-enabled media player, such as Winamp, iTunes, XMMS, MusicMatch and Windows Media Player.
- Displays cover art, dynamically scaling it to fit nicely on the screen. Supports images embedded in ID3.
- You can assign ratings and comments to albums.
- Finds cover art and album info using Amazon Web Services.
- Audioscrobbling support. Automatically register what youre playing on last.fm
- Tag editing of MP3 and OGG Vorbis files.
- On-the-fly resampling to lower bitrates using the high-quality LAME encoder.
- Common playlist features (add, remove, rearrange, repeat, shuffle, undo).
- Playlists can be saved and restored. M3U, PLS and XSPF formats are supported.
- Saved playlists are available as Podcasts.
- Support for Internet TV and radio stations.

- Lean web interface optimized for constrained bandwidth environments and efficient browsing through large music collections.
- WAP interface allows you to control Subsonic from any mobile phone or PDA.
- In addition to streaming, single files or entire directories may be downloaded from Subsonic.
- Files can be uploaded to Subsonic. Zip-files can be automatically unpacked.
- You can specify a upload/download bandwidth limit.
- Implements the SHOUTcast protocol. Players which support this (including Winamp, iTunes and XMMS) will display the current artist and song name.
- Provides links to album reviews and more at Google Music and allmusic.com.
- Full internationalization support. Currently available translations: English, Norwegian, Macedonian (by Stefan Ivanovski), Simplified Chinese (by Neil Gao), Spanish (by Jorge Bueno Magdalena), German (by Harald Weiss), and Dutch (by Ronald Knot).
- Theme support. Currently ships with four themes.
System requirements:
- The Subsonic server requires Java (version 5.0 or later) and a JSP container such as Tomcat (version 5.5 or later), both of which are available at no charge.
- To receive streams you need a web browser (tested on recent versions of Firefox, Opera and IE) and a media player (Winamp, Windows Media Player etc).
