「映像はいらない。私は音楽だけが欲しい。」

### 無劣化、だから高速・高音質 ###
WannaAudioは動画に含まれる音声データを、再エンコード等はせずそのまま抽出します。
つまり処理が高速、しかも音質の劣化がない。
あまりの速さに「本当にちゃんとできてるの?!」と驚かれること間違いありません。
### 電池長持ち、エコ大好きWannaAudio ###
iPhoneやiPodでの動画再生は、とても電池を消耗します。
BGM代わりに耳で聴ければいいだけなのに、映像が付いているおかげでグングン電池が減ってしまう…
WannaAudioを使いましょう!
音楽が聴ければいいだけなら、音楽だけにしてしまう。これ以上に納得できる解決方法はありません。
音楽好きのあなた、電池を長持ちさせたければ/CO2削減したければ/省エネに余念がなければ、WannaAudioです。
### 容量節約、うちのiPodは8GB…でも安心 ###
音声のみにすることでお使いのiPhone/iPodの容量も節約できます。
動画と比べて音楽だけならずっと小さくなりますので、何倍もの曲数を持ち歩けます。
### iPhoneでBGMを流せる ###
iPhoneのiPodアプリはバックグラウンド再生という機能を持っています。
自分の好きな音楽を聴きながら他の操作ができる、無くてはならない、むしろ当然のようなことです。
しかし、動画だとこうはいきません。
動画で流れている音楽を聴いたままメールを読もう…音楽が止まってしまう。
動画で流れている音楽を聴いたままTwitterにつぶやきたい…音楽が止まってしまう。
動画で流れている音楽を聴いたままSafariで調べもの…音楽が止まってしまう。
動画のままでは、何をするにも一度再生を止めなければ他のことができないのです。
だからWannaAudioで音楽だけにしてしまいましょう。
あなたのiPhoneライフが豊かになることを心から願っています。
### iTunesで再生できないトラブル?! そんなの無縁です ###
なぜWannaAudioを選ぶのか?
それは、iTunes再生互換のAACを生成できるから。
他のツールを試したがiTunesでちゃんと再生できなかった。
そのような心当たりがある方は、ぜひWannaAudioをお試しください。
### サポートする動画形式(及び抽出できる音声形式) ###
- FLV (MP3、AAC、リニアPCM)
- MP4 (AAC)
FLVのリニアPCMは、AIFFまたはWAVEのどちらかをお選びいただけます。
### 主な掲載メディア(敬称略) ###

TwistedWave Lite is a very easy to use audio editor.
Create your own iPhone ringtones!
Import audio from YouTube movies directly in TwistedWave, ready to be edited or saved.
TwistedWave Lite supports Audio Unit plug-ins. Use the Audio Units provided by Apple, or find the particular effect you wanted from the hundreds of Audio Units available on the internet.
TwistedWave Lite is similar to TwistedWave, but with more advanced features missing, such as:
- DIRAC technology for pitch shifting.
- Batch processing.
- Support for markers, metadata and VST Plugins.
- Silence detection.
- Effect stacks.
- Support for additional file formats, such as amb, mpg, mp2, mp3, flac, ogg/vorbis, wma, WavPack, Wave64 and video files.

MixTape is a simple, beautiful and easy to learn application for making beat matched mixes.
By simply drag dropping the music you already have in iTunes (or from the finder), MixTape adds detected tempo and beats. Tracks are then dragged onto a workspace where they now "snap to grid" along their beats and play in sync. Precisely in sync. Emphasised markers show where musical phrases start and a simple envelope adds that all important final polish to your mixes.
Mixes can then be exported back into iTunes to play on your Mac, iPod or iPhone; or published directly onto the web with no additional accounts, services or software.
Far simpler than either an audio workstation or a DJ app, MixTape embraces the Mac aesthetic to blend in perfectly with your desktop. Finally a short series of video tutorials emphasise 'show' over 'tell' and creative commons licensed demo mixes both show what can be done and how.
Those wanting a more advanced experience, including the ability to play live should check out MixTape Pro - also in the app store.

Each time you press Play or Next, Concordia plays a unique song, that no one has ever heard before. There are four parts - pad, two melody lines, drums, and sound effects, that work together to create infinite amounts of surprisingly intricate music.
You can describe the style as ambient, classical, New Age-y, experimental, and/or electronic. Tailor the music using simple controls to create your own genre. Or start with a station, like Meditation, Classical, or Electronica, and go from there.
Visit the Concordia Web page to download a working demo, hear songs exported directly from the app, and see sample projects where users have incorporated Concordia songs.
Want to listen to Concordia when you aren’t at your computer? Save a whole album to iTunes with a single menu command. Play it on your iPod. Burn it to a CD.
Royalty free, commercial free. Play Concordia music (live or recorded) in your workplace, store, or club. Use Concordia tracks in your presentations, videos, movies, or games as either temp tracks or the final score.

Noise Machine is a white noise and soundscape generator designed to help you block out workplace noise and create a more productive work environment to suit your mood.
It can be very hard and tiring to try to concentrate in a noisy work environment. The chatter of co-workers can be especially hard to block out. Conversely excessively quiet environments can lack energy and can feel very isolating.
Noise Machine generates white, brown and pink noise, whose special properties are often used to mask out other environmental sounds and favor concentration and task focus.
Noise Machine also features a range of natural and artificial soundscapes to suit your mood, ranging from the relaxing sounds of water to the energizing atmosphere of a sidewalk cafe´.
Designed to be as unobtrusive and simple to use as possible, Noise Machine’s icon “lives” in the menu bar and is accessible at any time via a simple click.
The menu bar item allows you to choose between a range of sounds, adjust the volume and change the sound output device.
