Open Source Common Lisp Multimedia Software for Linux

Computer Music Programming Language

DACML stands for Digital Audio and Computer Music Language. It is implemented as a Common Lisp library and low level C routines for efficiency. The aim is to apply functional paradigm to Computer Music composition. Licensed under GPL v. 3 or later.

Unlike conventional audio players, ARITA aims to help music lovers to keep their precious collections well organized and tidy. Therefore it takes a different approach to arranging audio files. They must be emplaced into libraries: 'archives' or 'cuesheets'. Archive - compressionless container like CPIO. Instead of tags for description of tracks, a plain XML/YAML file is placed alongside each archive. Rather than embedding cover art in every track, put a single image next to a library. TIFF supports multipage docs, so scans of covers/discs can be packed together in one file. ARITA will locate and display the said file, allowing you to view all pages. Optional 'signature' files can be created to keep checksums of tracks, so you may ask ARITA to verify them and make sure nothing is damaged due to a sudden failure of HDD/SSD. As for 'cuesheets': tracks are merged into a single continuous audio file and a supplementary text file, which provides information on where tracks start and end.

Mapserver is a GIS application offering a MapScript library for scripting applications. CL-MAPSCRIPT offers Common Lisp bindings for the MapScript library based on the CFFI glue.
