GSpot is a free audio and music application designed to help users analyze, identify, play, and convert audio and music files. It is compatible with a variety of audio formats, including MP3, WAV, AIFF, and OGG. Using GSpot, users can quickly identify the audio and music file types, bitrates, sample rates, and other technical details. It also allows users to play audio and music files directly within the application, as well as convert audio and music files to other formats. GSpot also provides users with a visual audio analyzer, allowing them to visualize their audio and music files. Additionally, GSpot integrates with other applications, allowing users to access their audio and music files directly in those programs.
Adware included with the installer! Beware, I had to disable all my antivirus software to install it (a risk I was willing to take on this system for now).
Complete information, simple user interface (start the application, then drag your file to the application window), fully portable (no Windows installation required) and no adware. No threats detected by BitDefender. Just what I needed to determine that the larger of the two files of the same movie was actually the lower resolution and color depth. Go figure. But this application confirmed my impression that the image was better on the copy that had the smaller file size.
Warning The installer is included with browser toolbars, software offerings, etc.
