Rakarrack: Guitar FX For Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux-based guitar effects processors haven't exactly been flourishing
| recently. Until recently, the guitar FX processors page at linux-sound.org
| listed twelve projects, of which the most recent maintenance date is 2006.
| Clearly, not a flourishing domain for Linux audio developers. Not that Linux
| lacks realtime effects processing capabilities: Pd can be pressed into any
| audio service imaginable, the JACK Rack can be configured for LADSPA-based
| effects, but they are not organized and optimized specifically for
| guitarists. However, a thirteenth entry has joined the collection at
| linux-sound.org, and this entry is most definitely organized, optimized, and
| intended for guitarists.

First look: Songbird 0.6 open source media player
,----[ Quore ]
| We tested Songbird 0.6 on Ubuntu 8.04 to see how it compares to other open
| source media players. Although we encountered some bugs during our testing,
| the overall Songbird experience proved compelling. It has some unique
| features and offers a very high level of extensibility.

Mozilla + iTunes + Rhapsody = Songbird
,----[ Quote ]
| Lord calls Songbird a "mashup between a Web browser and a media player,
| creating a new class of app I call a Web player." Songbird will support all
| open file formats but it will also support codecs (define) and Digital Rights
| Management (DRM) in Windows media, VLC and Quicktime. That means it can play
| the iTunes AAC file format, XviD, Ogg Vorbis and WMV files.

Songbird: The Firefox of Media Players
,----[ Quote ]
| Firefox is not only a fine web browser, but the code it's based on
| is a standardized open-source framework that other applications can
| use take as a basis, using XUL--eXtensible user-interface language
| (pronounced ZOOL). XUL apps work across platforms and can either
| be internet-connected or standalone.
|
| Today we'll take a look at one of the most appealing XUL
| apps--Songbird, from Pioneers of the Inevitable, Inc, which
| claims folks who've previously worked on Winamp and Yahoo!
| Music Engine.
