Thanks for that. Your audio player ('one pixel out' for audio, ) is the same
as the mp3 player I mentioned earlier. They are all basically the same: the
WordPress audio player and its Drupal integration.

And you are right - Drupal is a great basis for these things.

Cool. That looks really neat. Something once the basics are up. Speaking of
which we should come up with an outline of how this is going to work so
we're on the same track. Once I get Drupal set up for it I'll make a page we
can both edit so we can work out an outline. Or if you have google docs we
could do it there, or email, or here or

Haha well don't worry, the next day or two are a bit insane but it
(supposedly) quiets down after that. I can put time into it.
As for traffic, if no one comes, well, I've had plenty of those by now, no
biggie. If it explodes and hosting becomes expensive it shouldn't be a
problem to support it with ads. We'd qualify for the adbard network, I've
never tried that before but it seems fitting.

I design websites, and it's how I get my sustenance, so I guess I'm a
web-designer. Still don't feel like I quite qualify for that title
somehow... In any case it will be great to have a partner on this to divide
the workload.

I also do audio recordings mainly for one band in town. I'm assuming as
you're on this list that you record some stuff as well, so there's our
two-user start for content.

Phillip,

I tried to install the mp3 player watching the video link provided - works
perfect. the best part is, users only need to attach a song to their node
and the player appears automagically. Thus they could have the option to
attach a song, if they want to give it for free.

As for the domain, just tell me where to point it, and I will do so (name
and mail servers).

Also, I was thinking of implementing a kind of gig calendar. so active
musicians could post their gigs. Have a look at
http://drupal.org/project/calendar sounds proising. Haven't tried it, but
watched the video as well.

Viktor,

I just opened an account on HostPapa, one of those "Unlimited" storage and
transfer ones. I'm sure that will be fine starting out at least.

That domain sounds fine for now at least, much better than using a subdomain
on one of mine. I had a few other ideas but that can come later, if this
proves to actually go anywhere. Actually the more I look at it the more I
like that one.

I've used the "audio" module in the past, http://drupal.org/project/audio,
but it's still listed unstable. I can't remember if it does ogg, but that
mp3 player module looks good enough to give it a shot.


I can't actually spend much time on this today as I need to get a lot of
work done on another website for a client. Probably tomorrow I can really
get going.

Ok, this sounds great.

Philip, let's talk it over.

I am ready to provide a net domain.

I bought limuxic.net. This is a name I was using with my kids at the school
that I am teaching, to tell them that it's about music made in Linux. They
loved it.

I can transfer this domain to you, if you want (unlock it etc).

Also, would you have enough space? If all goes good, you might need 5-10gb?

I can also set it up and give you admin rights, but I don't mind either
ways.

also, I was thinking on putting this mp3 player:
http://drupal.org/project/mp3player

One uploads a track and it turns into a player (doesn't work with ogg:-()

Or you have something better in mind?

when there are two or more people, this thing might actually work!

Yep, sounds like we're on the same track.

D6 is what I was going to use.

Setting this up in Drupal would be such a cinch, I think I might in the next
few days just get the basic stuff working, put it on a subdomain on my
hosting package and then if there's interest, I'll go and properly theme it
all, etc.

Viktor, if I get it up I'll give you an admin account if you want as we seem
to be on the same track.

Now, I can't find, don't know of any website that does all this yet. There's
some old list-type sites, but nothing really user-driven and dynamic that
has potential for forming a community. I think that's for one of two
reasons:
1) Nobody's done it yet.
2) one or more sites like this DOES exist, but there really isn't an
interest, hence why I can't find it.

Either way I think the only way to find out if there's interest is to
actually set one up. For the small amount of effort it would take to do this
in Drupal I think it's worth the risk.

And hey, I'm pretty interested in it, maybe it follows that many others
probably are as well.

Good to hear that!

Actually, I started thinking of creating a website too. And I also stopped
at the question of interest.

Thus, let me throw my ideas here.

I saw the future website as info-only. Thus, people put their stuff there
(samples or whole songs) which then can be listened or downloaded. Other
people comment. One page per song.

But I also thought about forums. a place where we can discuss production
tricks and hints. Where we can discuss new (and old) software from a
musician's point of view.

so, the first think I would like to see whether there are any websites that
I don't know about. also, see what interest such an idea generates. Also,
see whether other people (like you) have similar ideas, so as not to clash
or make a double (and useless) effort.

Or maybe unite the efforts? I was thinking on doing it on Drupal 6. I have a
basic knowledge in that. What CMS were you thinking to use?

Re: Where is the music made in Linux?

2009-07-27 Thread Phil
I've actually been thinking about creating a website exactly like what
you're looking for. Would there be interest in this?

What I'm seeing is a community-driven site where people can upload their
stuff, and can discuss, rate, categorize, critique others' work. Open to all
so long as the music is made with FOSS.

Just throwing out some other ideas I was thinking of maybe having the option
to only let people download a sample and then charge to let people hear the
whole thing. Maybe for that option have a base price for setting that option
and then the uploader can mark up to whatever they wish. Maybe also have the
option to just download a sample and then link to where the user could buy
the track.

Is there interest in this? I can do it, but I can do it a lot faster if I
know people might use it.

Hi,

On Jamendo artists can add tags to describe the software they use. I've seen
lot's of open source applications in these tags, like Ardour, Rosegarden,
Audacity Perhaps something to look into :-p. Maybe these people can be
contacted for representation on a list, or for asking their opinions on the
software they use.

Where is the music made in Linux?

2009-07-26 Thread Viktor Mastoridis
Here, http://dis-dot-dat.net/mailman/listinfo/lam_dis-dot-dat.net

I read this:

"...About LAM
LAM is a mailing list for posting you Linux-made music, getting feedback and
finding collaborators.
Software trouble should be discussed in LAU and the coding side of things
should be sent to LAD"

But there it seems that only one person (Julian) posts his music in the last
two years.

I see that music is been posted on all LA- lists occasionally, but I was
never sure whether it was the right place for posting (the various LA-
lists)

It would be nice to have a place where Linux music is posted and people
(audiophiles/musicians/linux geeks) make comments about it and generally,
hang out, say like http://www.zoxsy.com/

Any ideas, suggestions about it?

At some point someone on the LAU list wondered with all the rather
technical discussions going on: where's the music?

So a few people started to post about their music made with Linux now
and then.

James Shuttleworth, who was likely the most productive of all of us for
a while, thought it would be good to have a dedicated list for that. So
he set one up. But assuming not that many people subscribed, some
started to post to both LAM and LAU about their music. Others continued
to post to LAU only.

http://lam.fugal.net/ used to be a place where you could leave links to
tracks with short descriptions. No comments, AFAIR, though.

archive.org has an "open-source" music section and there is a "Linux"
keyword in use. I'm afraid you will find lots of podcasts and such
there, though:
http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=subject%3A"Linux"; AND collection
%3Aopensource_audio

We could agree on a more specific keyword, but things like this tend to
not spread as they should.

Regarding the "it would be nice", sure, it's always the same: you need
someone to take care of it ;)
