Pick MediaInfo if…
It suits people who need technical details about media files, including users who prefer a graphical interface, command line, or library. Developers can also use the SDK and source build instructions.
Pick Open Audio Analyzer if…
It suits audio users who need loudness or spectrum measurements for live audio, files or DAW sessions across supported desktop and mobile platforms. Users considering the Wi-Fi tablet display should limit it to a trusted network because that link lacks encryption and authentication.
