Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

So you want to compete with or replace open source
Title feels misleading - skip to the end:
> As for me, I still believe in open source, and even in the commercial potential of open source. It requires creativity and a clever business acumen to identify and exploit market opportunities within this collaborative framework. To win in open source you must embrace this collaboration and embrace the fact that you will share the commercial market for the software with other entities. If you’re up to that challenge, then let’s keep beating the open source drum together. If not, these new movements(source-available software) may be a home for you – but know that a lot of hard work still lies ahead of you in that path.
This article feels more like a critique of the new "source-available" trend in tech whereby existing OSS projects sell out and try to retroactively re-license themselves to be more closed-source friendly. I've been sort of aware of this phenomenon since there was a small upset when Muse Group bought Audacity, though it appears it is still GPL[1].

Audacity 3.4 – New Musical Features
The time stretch algorithm is implemented in https://github.com/audacity/audacity/blob/master/libraries/l... particularly functions _time_stretch and _process_hop. It looks to me like a classic phase vocoder with vertical phase coherence (c.f. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_vocoder).
The basic idea is this. For a time-stretch factor of, say, 2x, the frequency spectrum of the stretched output at 2 sec should be the same as the frequency spectrum of the unstretched input at 1 sec. The naive algorithm therefore takes a short section of signal at 1s, translates it to 2s and adds it to the result. Unfortunately, this method generates all sorts of unwanted artifacts.
Imagine a pure sine wave. Now take 2 short sections of the wave from 2 random times, overlap them, and add them together. What happens? Well, it depends on the phase of each section. If the sections are out of phase, they cancel on the overlap; if in phase, they constructively interfere.
The phase vocoder is all about overlapping and adding sections together so that the phases of all the different sine waves in the sections line up. Thus, in any phase vocoder algorithm, you will see code that searches for peaks in the spectrum (see _time_stretch code). Each peak is an assumed sine wave, and corresponding peaks in adjacent frames should have their phases match.

If you are able to build from source, you could download the latest source code, or the latest release version source code, and manually apply the patch.

Custom Themes for 3.1+?
FWIW: We'll be ditching the atlases for 3.4 most likely, in favor of having themes work like they do in source anyway: With individual PNGs for the icons and a Colors.txt containing all the color definitions. With that, custom themes would be much easier to author and also would stop breaking every time we introduce a new icon.

Audacity 3.3.1 on Tumbleweed is freaking out
https://github.com/audacity/audacity/issues/4639 this bug mentions everything, I guess it's Audacity after all. To be fixed in 3.3.2

Did I make a mistake for purchasing music from iTunes Store?
Seconding basically everything that's been said here, but should you ever find yourself in need of a good file converter, I like and use fre:ac (www.freac.org), an open source Swiss army knife for audio formats.

Hi-SP 256kbps ATRAC3+ or MD-SP 292kbps ATRAC
That's a lot of steps! I believe there's FLAC rippers for Tidal, that may make it easier to use WebMD or SonicStage. I use https://www.freac.org/ to convert from FLAC (which I rip my CDs in) to WMA Lossless (which SonicStage can use) - Web Minidisc can use FLAC directly, as well.
-
A way to get CD metadata and artwork
You might want to use a tool like https://www.freac.org for the conversion.

Could use some help dumping CDs.
I use fre:ac personally - https://www.freac.org

Fan's! Of SUBLIME! What!? Would? Be The Best Way To Go About Doing This!?...
A lot of bootlegs are already ripped and available. wondering if the ones you have are the ones that are already available. you can download https://www.freac.org/ and rip em.

Hi-SP - any regular users? Only recently gpt this HiMD and today I'm making my first recording, hi-sp via optical from a cd player.
What I was doing when I want 352k AT3+ files was to use https://www.freac.org/ to convert FLACs to WMA Lossless files which SonicStage 4.3 can read, then hook up the HiMD machines, pick the songs/album/whatever, and transfer them at 352k. It does the transcode on the fly but you can pick "fast" vs. "quality" modes, either should really be good but I did "quality" because the 10-year-old computer I'm doing it on should be 2-5x faster than an average computer in 2007 when SS4.3 was released so it's not that big of a deal.

Newbie Hi-MD Question (Roast Anticipated)
If you need to convert FLAC/AAC/ALAC/whatever to a format SonicStage supports (LPCM WAV or lossless WMA) - you can use a tool like the Free Audio Converter (FRE:AC).
-
Transfers are not allowed. [SonicStage]
For lossless or high-resolution audio, I use a tool called FREAC to convert FLAC/ALAC and anything else SonicStage itself can't use to WMA Lossless, which gets you both proper metadata support and CD quality lossless files.
