Would it be beneficial to encourage a separate "music made with Linux" list? Thoughts? ___________________________________________________________________________ Hi All. Music itself holds no prejudice so I think it should be all promoted as Music. ( Pure and safe , which is free from definitions and critics) There are already too many categorizations nowadays in music which usually ride a fad or fashion curve and are used for filling up shelf space. I think categorizing music as ?music made on linux? is baseless. And discriminating music on the basis of which platform it was produced, like Linux or from OS X of any other OS, actually degrades Music.(also is a very technical discrimination) It is not something like it is rock or jazz. It is also in a way admitting that linux is inferior in music circles, which is not true at all. So I think we should be a little careful while saying it is music produced on linux or a mac because for the end listener it will be our music that is doing the talking(not linux or windows). Linux, softwares, Mac, Sequencers etc are all important but are still 'tools' to achieve the music. <>Boom <>Ish frEeMuZik.net/ sarai.net (P.S I m a strong supporter of Free software and Linux ... but (1) the thoughts mentioned above are for ?music? and are not part of the 'free software Vs. Proprietary software? argument and (2) I m not looking at 'made with Linux' as a very technical definition, i m looking at it as an 'end listener' definition ) James Stone wrote: >On Tue, 31 May 2005 12:44:13 -0400, Greg Wilder wrote: > > > >>Would it be beneficial to encourage a separate "music made with Linux" >>list?
