24 alternatives to Cjam – a modern MP3 file editor

Cjam is an MP3 editing and playback tool for Windows. The MP3 format itself has been stable for decades, but advances in CPU power and memory have shifted the relationship between files and hardware, creating room for new approaches to working with MP3s. Cjam provides both a GUI and scripting interface that allow you to process large numbers of files at the frame level. This improves on existing tools, offering faster and more flexible editing and playback.

    I originally developed a WASM port of wxWidgets for https://dj.app/. When it came time to open source wxWidgets-wasm, I decided to port another complex app as a test case, and Audacity seemed like the obvious choice. In the process, I also needed to write a new host API for PortAudio for playback and recording in the browser. https://github.com/ahilss/wxWidgets-wasm https://github.com/ahilss/portaudio-wasm https://github.com/ahilss/wavvy

    Hi HN, I created kew, a music player for the Linux terminal. This started when I asked myself: what if I could just type something like "play nirvana" in the terminal and have the rest taken care of automatically? That got the ball rolling and I kept adding stuff: covers in ascii and then as sixel images, a playlist view, a visualizer, a library view and finally search. While kew can be used as a commandline tool, it has evolved into a TUI app. Here are some example commands: kew nirvana # Plays all of your Nirvana songs, shuffled kew nevermind # Plays the "Nevermind" album in order kew…
