[juneau-lug] Re: October Meeting

I'd enjoy learning more about dealing with sound on Linux.  Howto rip 
CD's, how to turn arbitrary sound files into Cd's, and so on.  I really 
don't know a whole lot about the various sound file formats, so some 
basics would help me, at least. If anyone knows about sound editing, 
that would be interesting too.

James, I'm in complete agreement with you on the matter of respecting 
the wishes of the copyright holders.  Fortunately, there is a LOT of 
music out there that is freely available by the copyright-holder's wish.

Mp3.com has lots of free music, put there by musicians who want to get 
their art out to listeners.  Peter Welker is one artist I've found there 
who's music I've really enjoyed.  Look here: 
http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/22/peter_welker.html

http://furthurnet.com/ has a p2p client which lets you get taped live 
concerts by artists who allow taping.  This one is pretty neat.  I just 
got a concert by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones this way.  Unfortunately, 
  I haven't been able to figure out how to get their program running on 
Linux!  It's written in Java, and that's always been a mess for me on Linux.

In short, even if you don't own the CD, you can legitimately get music.
