puddletag is an audio tag editor (primarily created) for GNU/Linux
similar to the Windows program, Mp3tag. Unlike most taggers for
GNU/Linux, it uses a spreadsheet-like layout so that all the tags
you want to edit by hand are visible and easily editable.
The usual tag editor features are supported like extracting tag
information from filenames, renaming files based on their tags by
using patterns and basic tag editing.
Then there're Functions, which can do things like replace text,
trim it, do case conversions, etc. Actions can automate repetitive
tasks. Doing web lookups using Amazon (including cover art), Discogs
(does cover art too!), FreeDB and MusicBrainz is also supported.
Supported formats: ID3v1, ID3v2 (mp3), MP4 (mp4, m4a, etc.),
VorbisComments (ogg, flac), Musepack (mpc), Monkey's Audio (.ape)
and WavPack (wv).

A sound file is read by the software, and a 128-bit message is stored in
a watermark in the output sound file. For human listeners, the files
typically sound the same.
However, the 128-bit message can be retrieved from the output sound
file. Our tests show, that even if the file is converted to mp3 or ogg
(with bitrate 128 kbit/s or higher), the watermark usually can be
retrieved without problems. The process of retrieving the message does
not need the original audio file (blind decoding).
Internally, audiowmark is using the patchwork algorithm to hide the data
in the spectrum of the audio file. The signal is split into 1024 sample
frames. For each frame, some pseoudo-randomly selected amplitudes of the
frequency bands of a 1024-value FFTs are increased or decreased
slightly, which can be detected later.
Offline Text To Speech (TTS) converter for Python. Unlike alternative libraries, it works offline.
Requires some post-release commits from Github due to dependency on audio/espeak-ng[1]. If release version 2.90 is installed via e.g. PIP instead, it will not find audio/espeak's libespeak-ng.so.1 library.
The port is needed as one of the dependencies of the QGIS plugin 'QChatGPT'.

This new mixer incarnation has support for various audio architectures.
The port has two flavors:
lite (default one) - supports only system audio (oss)
full - has all options turned on, also supporta alsa, pulseaudio and sndio
2023-03-31 audio/kexis: Abandonware, niche format that never got any traction and no release in 18 years. Consider using audio/flac or audio/wavpack instead
GTUltra is a fork of goattracker, a music tracker for the Commodore 64,
which adds many new features, most notably an extended user interface.
