This is a minimal, lightweight, console program to list various parameters of audio files. It works like the ls command displaying parameters of files in current (or specified) directory. This program is written to work with collection of files as a whole.

Requirements

LSA requires CPU with SSE and SSE2 (this means that only if you have pretty old CPU it won't work). Also, your OS must support these intrinsics.

Supported Formats

LSA is built on top of the Audio File library, and so it inherits its list of supported file formats:

• AIFF/AIFF-C (.aiff, .aifc)
• WAVE (.wav)
• NeXT .snd/Sun .au (.snd, .au)
• Berkeley/IRCAM/CARL Sound File (.sf)
• Audio Visual Research (.avr)
• Amiga IFF/8SVX (.iff)
• Sample Vision (.smp)
• Creative Voice File (.voc)
• NIST SPHERE (.wav)
• Core Audio Format (.caf)
• FLAC (.flac)

Supported compression formats:

• G.711 mu-law and A-law
• IMA ADPCM
• Microsoft ADPCM
• FLAC
• ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec)

Features

The program is currently capable of displing the following parameters:

• sample rate;
• sample width;
• sample format (signed or unsigned integer, single or double precision floating point);
• number of channels;
• duration in minutes, seconds, and hours (if necessary) per file;
• total duration of all files in actual directory;
• number of frames per file;
• total number of frames of all files in actual directory;
• bit-rate per file in kbps;
• average bit-rate for all files;
• peak [0..1] per file;
• maximum peak among all files in actual directory;
• compression scheme.

Installation

1. Install Audio File library;

2. Chances are you already have GCC and GNU make, but if you don't, get them;

3. Download and untar git repository of LSA, or clone it:

   $ git clone https://github.com/mrkkrp/lsa.git
   

4. Go to the root directory of the repository and execute:

   $ make
   # sh install.sh
   

5. Done (you can use uninstall.sh to uninstall the program).
