ACS is an freeware crossplatform set of components designed to perform different sound-processing tasks. It supports reading the audio data from CD,different fileformats at example wav,mp3,wma,ogg,mac and others, output to soundcard and files are sure also possible. Between input and output you can work with the data, different converters,mixers and processors are avalible.

About

Light bulb  Note: Because most of the required libraries are 32-bit, some formats and devices are not available on 64-bit!

ACS (Audio Components Suite) is a freeware cross-platform set of components designed to perform different sound-processing tasks. It supports reading the audio data from CD, different file formats, for example wav,mp3,wma,ogg,mac and others, output to soundcard and files is also possible. Between input and output you can work with the data, different converters, mixers and processors are available.

Its main characteristics are :

  • Abstract Layer to include different "drivers"
    • Alsa, /dev/dsp, AOLive, OSS support within Linux
    • DirectX, Wavemapper support within Windows

    • MP3 format support: Encode mp3 files using LAME, mp3 playback with smpeg library, streams conversion using MAD decoder
    • Ogg Vorbis format support: Reading Ogg files/streams (including multi-streamed ones). Storing data in Ogg Vorbis format with wide range of settings for compression/quality tweaks. Ogg comments support
    • FLAC format support: Reading FLAC files/streams, storing data in FLAC format with wide range of settings for compression tweaks.
    • Monkey Audio format support (for Windows only)
    • CD-ROM playback and direct CDDA data capture
    • Append data to existing file/stream capability
  • AudioMixer component for mixing/concatenating audio streams
  • InputList component for dynamically building playback/input lists
