Linux Journal: "During the final months of 2009 Linux audio developers and users were working overtime.

If you feel that you didn't get enough goodies in your holiday stocking perhaps you'll find a few more stuffers listed here as another year closes in the world of Linux sound and music software."

Linux Journal: "SourceForge is one of those long-lived services that have remained relevant to my searches for new and interesting sound and music applications, so I decided to surf the Forge to find recent and maybe some not-so-recent developments in the world of Linux audio."

When I began collecting links for the Linux Sound & Music Applications pages I frequented a variety of announcement and news services.

Some of those services are no longer with us, some have been superceded by more comprehensive and modern channels, and a few have remained as primary sources for new and updated Linux audio software.

Linux Journal: "Recently I asked readers for suggestions regarding Linux audio topics they'd like to read about in my articles.

One response suggested a survey of the various Internet communications channels for Linux-based musicians.

I liked the idea, so I considered my traditionally preferred channels, searched for and found interesting new connections, and wrote this guide to lead you on a tour of notable communications channels focused on Linux sound and music topics."

I've wanted to write this article for quite a while. Over the years I've noted that Java-based music and sound applications have increased in number and quality, yet no comprehensive list or summaries have covered these advances.

And so at long last I present this survey of music and sound applications that require Java.

A few weeks ago I promised to bring in some more general news from the world of Linux audio software development.

Alas, my plans were ambushed by the happy intrusion of the release of Renoise for Linux, but I'm back on track.

As promised, here's more straight reporting on the world of Linux sound and music software, starting with some news about recently released music notation programs.
