Tremor (software)

Tremor is a fixed-point version of the Vorbis decoder for those platforms without floating point operations. It is by the Xiph.Org Foundation.

It is a software library that decodes the Vorbis audio format. Tremor uses fixed-point and movable-point arithmetic numeric representations in its implementation so that it can be used by small embedded devices, which typically do not have floating-point processors. Thus, Tremor enables small embedded devices to play audio files stored in the Vorbis format.

Tremor was originally developed by Xiph.Org as a part of a contract for the Iomega HipZip,[citation needed] but was since opened up to encourage wider use of the Vorbis format. Almost all hardware devices[clarification needed] that can play Vorbis, and many software implementations on embedded devices (such as mobile phones) use Tremor or some descendant.

It is free software released under the New BSD license.
