Platform information checked 2026-10-28. Linux PipeWire desktop app; no Windows or macOS build is asserted. The provider warns to keep hardware devices as the system defaults rather than selecting Easy Effects virtual devices.
Official app downloads and supported devicesApply equalization, compression and other audio effects to PipeWire playback or microphone streams on Linux.
Easy Effects is GPL-3.0-or-later software, and the project-linked Flathub distribution is free. It requires a Linux PipeWire audio environment; distribution packages may require separate effect plugins while the provider-linked Flatpak includes them. It covers selected equalizer and effects tasks rather than Boom 3D platform support or proprietary surround processing. Your hardware and optional external audio/preset rights are separate; it does not provide a licensed music catalog.

FeishinProduct logo · See the interface on the official websiteListen to music from your own Jellyfin, Navidrome or Subsonic server.
Feishin is GPL-3.0 software with free desktop and web clients. You need your own compatible music server, credentials and licensed music. Server hosting, storage and network costs are separate; it does not connect to Spotify or provide a paid streaming catalog. Optional lyrics and external integrations have their own data handling.
MopidyProduct logo · See the interface on the official websiteAn extensible music server for a computer or Raspberry Pi.
The Apache-licensed core is free and plays local audio files and internet radio. It runs on a computer with audio output and uses a web client or an optional MPD extension for control; hardware, storage and third-party client costs are separate. It includes no Spotify, Audible or Netflix subscription catalog. Service extensions have separate requirements: Mopidy-Spotify requires Spotify Premium and its current README warns that third-party access-token streaming has been disabled, so do not rely on it as free or guaranteed Spotify playback.
