Demo music in Debian?
Some days ago, I helped a young colleague to install Debian. At some point, they asked themself, whether the sound card worked. They started the default music player application in Gnome, but there was nothing to try. When one buys a telephone or a mobile music player, it comes with some demo sound files to try it, before having to copy files to it. Not so Debian. I propose, that Debian should have a package with some demo music. This package should be recommended by "end user music player" packages, such as Rhythmbox. Maybe not necessarily by "advanced users". Of course, the music files of the package must be - free (DFSG free music is available) - in a free format, such as OGG - a very tiny collection of different genres - immediately available when one starts a music player Do you think, this would be useful? The only fear I have is, that Debian would start a fight about which music to include or exclude. The rockers and mods fought much harder than fans of sysvinit and systemd. Would we need to form a cultural committee? Will there be a GR about music? This could be the dynamite to blast Debian into pieces... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-multimedia-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
