Seamlessly combines all the best image optimization tools: MozJPEG, pngquant, Pngcrush, 7zip, SVGO and Google Zopfli.
ImageOptim is excellent for publishing images on the web (easily shrinks images “Saved for Web” in Photoshop). It's useful for making Mac and iPhone/iPad applications smaller (if you configure Xcode to allow better optimization).
ImageOptim removes EXIF meta­data, such as GPS position and camera's serial number, so that you can publish images without exposing private information (but there's an option to keep the meta­data if you need it).

Icon ID3 Editor 1.29.51

ID3 Editor is a small and simple MP3 tag editor, which offers the ability to edit the most wanted attributes of the ID3 tags in one window. Although iTunes offers a good interface for editing tags, it does have a few important attributes missing, e.g. 'copyright' and 'encoded by' which is where ID3 Editor saves the day. MP3 ID3 tags are used to store important information of a music track, such as the track 'title', track 'number', 'artist', 'album' etc. The information can then be displayed in your favourite MP3 player application or on your portable player such as an iPod, a Walkman or other music hardware.

Icon LAME 3.100

LAME is a high quality MPEG Audio Layer III (MP3) encoder licensed under the LGPL.
LAME development started around mid-1998. Mike Cheng started it as a patch against the 8hz-MP3 encoder sources. After some quality concerns raised by others, he decided to start from scratch based on the dist10 sources. His goal was only to speed up the dist10 sources, and leave its quality untouched. That branch (a patch against the reference sources) became Lame 2.0, and with Lame 3.81 all of dist10 code was replaced, making LAME no more only a patch.
The project quickly became a team project. Mike Cheng eventually left leadership and started working on tooLame, an MP2 encoder. Mark Taylor became leader and started pursuing better quality in addition to increased speed. He can be considered the initiator of the LAME project in its current form. He released version 3.0 featuring gpsycho, a new psychoacoustic model he developed.
In early 2003 Mark left project leadership, and since then the project has been lead through the cooperation of the active developers (currently three individuals).
Today, LAME is considered the best MP3 encoder at mid-high bitrates and at VBR, mostly thanks to the dedicated work of its developers and the open source licensing model that allowed the project to tap into engineering resources from all around the world. Both quality and speed improvements are still happening, probably making LAME the only MP3 encoder still being actively developed.

Icon Max 0.9.2

Max is an application for creating high-quality audio files in various formats, from compact discs or files.
When extracting audio from compact discs, Max uses the error-correcting power of cdparanoia to ensure the true sound of your CD is faithfully extracted.
Once the audio is extracted, Max can generate audio in over 20 compressed and uncompressed formats including MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, AAC, Apple Lossless, Monkey's Audio, Speex, AIFF, and WAVE.
If you would like to convert your audio from one format to another, Max can read and write audio files in over 20 compressed and uncompressed formats. For many popular formats the artist and album metadata is transferred seamlessly between the old and new files.
Max leverages open source components and the resources of Mac OS X to provide extremely high-quality output. For example, MP3 encoding is accomplished with LAME, Ogg Vorbis encoding with libVorbis, FLAC encoding with libFLAC, and AAC and Apple Lossless encoding with Core Audio. Many PCM conversions are also possible using Core Audio and libsndfile.

The Rename Files script renames the selected files based on a user inputted string which can contain any of the fields that iTunes tracks support (ie, title, artist, album).
The "Edit a Rename String" action will bring up a selection dialog which lists all of the rename strings. Select the one that you wish to edit and click edit. This will bring up a dialog that will allow you to edit the rename string. (Note that this dialog is very similar to the one for adding a rename string.) The "Save" button will save the edited string, while "Go Back" will return to the main window with no changes made. The "Help" button will show a small dialog listing all of the possible tags that can be used.

Icon ScreenSleeves 6.11.0

Screensleeves detects which is playing and displays cover art and details for the currently-playing track.
It works with iTunes (Music), Spotify, Snowtape, and Swinsian.
ScreenSleeves has a long history as a true screensaver (actually a system plugin rather than a true app). However, the security changes in Mojave (10.14) have made it impossible for ScreenSleeves to continue as a screensaver.
The solution was to embed Screensleeves within its own window in a standalone app. It still looks like and functions as a screensaver. But it's now more flexible. You can make its window as small or as large as you like (there's a preference to keep it floating above all other windows) and at the touch of a button make it full-screen.
