New Audio Components (NewAC) are designed to help your Delphi programs to perform different sound-processing tasks. With NewAC you can play audio stored in different formats (wav, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, Monkey Audio, WavPack, MP3, Windows WMA). The playback is performed in the background, and although you application can control it (stop, pause, move forward and backward, play in a loop) it can perform some other tasks while audio plays. You can play sound not only from external files, but also from sound resources embedded into your program, and, in fact, from any stream providing audio data. But NewAC not only allows you to play sound. You can acquire audio data from such input devices as microphone or CD and encode it into any of the audio formats mentioned above. While playing audio stored in a file or while writing audio content to a file you can manipulate tags supported by the chosen audio format. Apart from all that NewAC can perform some audio-editing tasks, like mixing and concatenating audio streams, selecting fragments of streams, performing samle rate and bits per sample conversions.
In other words with NewAC you can perform wide range of audio tasks: from adding audio notifications capability to your program to writing a sophisticated audio-recorder with sound conversion and editing capabilities. And, I just forgot to mention, NewAC is free with source available.
Some of the components, like Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, WAVPack require additioan third party DLLs. You can download them in a precompiled form below.
