  • webamp

    Winamp 2 reimplemented for the browser

  • For anyone looking to scratch this itch, I present to you WebAmp

  • neocities

    Neocities.org - the web site. The entire thing. Yep, we're completely open source.

  • by the way, if i hadn’t made it clear before, neocities isn’t actually the same geocities. it’s a web hoster like the old one was, but it was created because of the creativity and freedom that creating your own webpage offered. you can find thousands of different webpages on there, ranging from old school style pages to highly designed ones. a chunk of these pages have even gotten a ton of views (the most popular one has reached almost 31 million views). you can check it out in your own time if you’d like.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • pyLoad

  • picard

    A cross-platform music tagger powered by the MusicBrainz database. Picard organizes your music collection by updating your tags, renaming your files, and sorting them into a folder structure, exactly the way you want it.

  • Me too, and organized using Musicbrainz Picard. That tool is awesome.

  • FFmpeg

    Mirror of https://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git

  • It's a command line program that you can use to convert audio, along with a whole bunch of other stuff for audio and video files. Here

  • calibre

    The official source code repository for the calibre ebook manager

  • Calibre is an excellent library management tool! Plugins to remove DRM for lots of popular sources too. Any time I buy something on Kindle I toss it in there and convert to epub.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Libation

    Libation: Liberate your Library

  • I've used inAudible for a few years, but Libation seems to be the go-to tool these days (even for ebooks). Open source too!

  • AudiobookHub

    Software resources for improving audiobook management

  • That'll usually get you to a guide like this, which will point you in the right directions for the tools/instructions you need. Most popular digital storefronts have similar guides.
