System Requirements

AudioWorks runs on Windows 8.1+, MacOS 10.15+, and Ubuntu 18.04+. Other 64-bit Linux distributions may work, but may require additional dependencies and are currently untested.

On Windows:

  • PowerShell 7+ (recommended) and/or Windows PowerShell 5.1
  • .NET Framework 4.6.2+ (if using Windows PowerShell)
  • iTunes (optional, for AAC and ALAC support. Requires the classic installer, not the Windows Store version)

On Ubuntu:

Installation

The AudioWorks PowerShell module can found on the PowerShell Gallery.

Keep the module up to date with Update-Module -Name AudioWorks.Commands.

The .NET API is available via NuGet.

Special Thanks

This project wouldn't be possible without the work of these other fine projects and organizations:

  • Hydrogen Audio Forums, a wonderful, scientifically-minded community of digital audio enthusiasts.
  • The LAME Project, maintainers of the high-quality MP3 encoder.
  • The Xiph.Org Foundation, maintainers of Ogg Vorbis and FLAC (the Free Lossless Audio Codec).
  • libebur128, a library implementing the EBU R.128 loudness standard.
  • QAAC, a command-line front-end for Apple's AAC and Apple Lossless encoders.
