An MP3 transcoder.
This has been an essential part of my toolkit for as long as I’ve had CDs. These days I use it primarily to convert various other audio formats to MP3.
my rip-audio-from-video.sh script uses lame.

Optimizes JPEG images, performing magic to reduce size, or optionally stripping metadata for even further savings, or performing lossy re-compression for potentially extraordinary size reduction.
I like this idea, and it’s actually freed up a significant amount of space. Being able to take a 5MB file and knock it down to 1MB while maintaining excellent visual quality.. is astonishing

I don’t really care about this, but I do use it occasionally to cut apart videos.
Quite straightforward to use for simple video editing and appending. It took me almost no time to learn.
Good for transcoding and merging audio into video.
I use avidemux_gtk
avidemux2_cli |

A straightforward and lightweight image viewer.
I had good experiences with this editor in the distant past.
I generally use GIMP.

I don’t know where I heard of this music player, but I had recently bookmarked it. I took a moment to check it out.
It failed my review.

A simple image viewer, but it doesn’t have the basic functionality I want. GPicView blows it away.
