Talk:List of Linux audio software
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
maybe it should be renamed to Linux sound and music software? It should not be a list of all kinds of audio software, but should list software for musicians, artist and audio professionals. Only software that is supported and still under development (and not orphaned). Any help with categorizing is welcommed --141.54.172.156 15:45, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Is this (1) a listing of Linux-specific audio software, or (2) a listing of audio software that works on Linux? If (2), then some other software should be added, such as Denemo and GNU LilyPond. If (1), then Audacity should be removed since it's cross-platform. --Erik 08:04, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
the url for the "other descriptive page" on NAS is 404ing, possibly find the new location and update URL? [1] is the current URL. --164.223.72.7 15:49, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
Listing orphaned software that still works is ok. May even bring new maintainer and life to project.
[edit] merge
A lot of discussion about deleting this list is happening at Talk:Free audio software. I am for keeping this list but not everyone is. So if you have an opinion on this matter I suggest you speak up and be heard. (Requestion 04:56, 14 February 2007 (UTC))
- This list and Free audio software are in a state of limbo waiting for the merge issue to be resolved. This list needs some major clean up of the external links and I don't want to waste my time if there is a 50% chance that this list will be deleted. The merge issue needs to be resolved soon.

[edit] Linkfarm
Listing non-notable software that does not have it's own wiki article is problematic. Listing such software with external links for them is not appropriate as far as I understand. I propose removing all such external links. --Ronz 00:32, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- I have changed all external links to be internal links and I was surprised to find out that many of these programs already had Wikipedia articles. I suggest removing all the red links after a couple weeks in a second clean up phase. (Requestion 16:35, 2 March 2007 (UTC))
