collectd gathers metrics from various sources such as the operating system, applications, log files and external devices, and stores this information or makes it available over the network. Those statistics can be used to monitor systems, find performance bottlenecks (i.e., performance analysis) and predict future system load (i.e., capacity planning).

This package provides a distributed monitoring solution (server-side)

pw is Pipe Watch, a utility that continuously reads lines of text from a pipe or pipe-like source, passes them through a FIFO buffer, and maintains a display based on the occasional sampling of the contents of the FIFO buffer, with useful features such as triggering and filtering.

With pw you can:

• Interactively apply and remove filters on-the-fly, without interrupting the source.

• Make recurring patterns in the stream appear to ``freeze'' on the screen, using triggers.

• Prevent the overwhelming amount of output from a program from flooding the terminal, while consuming all of that output so that the program isn't blocked. pw can pause its display updates entirely.

• Juggle multiple shell background jobs that produce output, yet execute indefinitely without blocking. When pw runs as part of a shell background job, it continues to consume input, process filters and take snapshots, without displaying anything. When put into the foreground again, display resumes.

Moreutils is a collection of general-purpose command-line tools to augment the traditional Unix toolbox.

GNU Motti is a simple multiplayer strategy game played in a terminal. The objective of the game is to conquer enemy capitals by occupying and encircling territory.

Mp3splt is a utility to split mp3 and ogg vorbis files selecting a begin and an end time position, without decoding. For splitting an album, one may select split points and file names manually or obtain them automatically from CDDB (internet or a local file) or from .cue files. The tool also supports automatic silence split, that can be used also to adjust cddb/cue splitpoints.

This package contains the binary.

MP3Info is a little utility used to read and modify the ID3 tags of MP3 files. MP3Info can also display various technical aspects of an MP3 file including playing time, bit-rate, sampling frequency and other attributes in a pre-defined or user-specifiable output format.

This package provides bindings for the Chromaprint acoustic fingerprinting library and the Acoustid API.

Mpg321 is a command-line mp3 player. mpg321 is used for frontends, as an mp3 player and as an mp3 to wave file decoder (primarily for use with CD-recording software).

This library supports decoding of the Musepack (MPC) audio compression format.

eyeD3 is a Python tool for working with audio files, specifically mp3 files containing ID3 metadata (i.e. song info). It provides a command-line tool (eyeD3) and a Python library (import eyed3) that can be used to write your own applications or plugins that are callable from the command-line tool.

Chromaprint is a library for calculating audio fingerprints which are used by the Acoustid service. Its main purpose is to provide an accurate identifier for record tracks.

Wavbreaker is a WAV and MP3 file splitter. It can be used to break up a WAV or MP3 audio file into multiple WAV files. Wavbreaker contains a helpful waveform display of the audio file being edited, to help the user in splitting the file at the right point. Wavbreaker also supports splitting MP3 files without re-encoding them, to preserve their original audio quality.

Minimp3 is a header-only MP3 decoder library.

LAME is a high quality MPEG Audio Layer III (MP3) encoder.

MAD (MPEG Audio Decoder) supports MPEG-1 and the MPEG-2 extension to lower sampling frequencies, as well as the de facto MPEG 2.5 format. All three audio layers — Layer I, Layer II, and Layer III (i.e. MP3) — are fully implemented.

This package contains the library.

RipperX is a GTK program to rip CD audio tracks and encode them to the Ogg, MP3, or FLAC formats. Its goal is to be easy to use, requiring only a few mouse clicks to convert an entire album. It supports CDDB lookups for album and track information.

Libid3tag is a library for reading ID3 tags, both ID3v1 and the various versions of ID3v2.

TagLib is a C++ library for reading and editing the meta-data of several popular audio formats. Currently it supports both ID3v1 and ID3v2 for MP3 files, Ogg Vorbis comments and ID3 tags and Vorbis comments in FLAC, MPC, Speex, WavPack TrueAudio, WAV, AIFF, MP4 and ASF files.

Mpc123 is a command-line player for files in the Musepack audio compression format (.mpc files).

Id3lib is a cross-platform software development library for reading, writing, and manipulating ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags. It is an on-going project whose primary goals are full compliance with the ID3v2 standard, portability across several platforms, and providing a powerful and feature-rich API with a highly stable and efficient implementation.

This package provides a Python library for audo decoding. It uses whatever audio backend is available, such as GStreamer, Core Audio, MAD, FFmpeg, etc.

Mpg123 is a real time MPEG 1.0/2.0/2.5 audio player/decoder for layers 1,2 and 3 (MPEG 1.0 layer 3 aka MP3 most commonly tested). It comes with a command-line tool as well as a C library, libmpg123.

Mp3splt is a utility to split mp3 and ogg vorbis files selecting a begin and an end time position, without decoding. For splitting an album, one may select split points and file names manually or obtain them automatically from CDDB (internet or a local file) or from .cue files. The tool also supports automatic silence split, that can be used also to adjust cddb/cue splitpoints.

This package contains the library.
