## 3. Other useful sound utilities

This section has nothing to do with the actual playing of sound files. Rather, it is a collection of some sound utilities that one might find useful.

## 3.1 volume

This is a simple command line interface for controlling the volume (what else could it be?). It also has a separate program with a Tcl/Tk interface included in the package for controlling the volume and playing `.au` sound files. A very simple Tcl/Tk CD player is also included.

This is Freeware and it is written by Sam Lantinga (`slouken@cs.ucdavis.edu`).

It can be obtained from ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/sound/soundcard/volume-2.1.tar.gz.

## 3.2 Sound Studio

This is a Tcl/Tk application that supports playback, recording, and editing of digital sound using `sox`. It includes `sox` in the distribution to avoid compatibility problems.

This was written by Paul Sharpe and N. J. Bailey (`N.J.Bailey@leeds.ac.uk`). It may be freely used and redistributed if a postcard is sent.

It can be found at Sound Studio's home page.

## 3.3 Tickle Music

This beta Tcl/Tk program is a music file browser that allows you to play various sound formats as long as an appropriate program to play it is on your system. By default `gmod` is used for playing MOD files and `mp` for playing MIDI files (you can change the source to use other programs).

It is written and copyrighted by Shannon Hendrix (`shendrix@pcs.cnu.edu` or `shendrix@escape.widomaker.com`).

It can be obtained from ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/sound/players/tmusic-1.0.tar.gz.
