Most computer users are spending much more time these
days viewing and creating multimedia content. According to
comScore, 85.6 percent of online Americans (178 million people)
watched video online in June 2011, and they spent an average of
16.8 hours each watching those videos during the month. In
addition, Nielsen reports that the number of people watching video
on their smartphones and tablets has increased 41 percent since
last year.But it isn’t just video viewing that’s growing—more people
are also using their PCs and mobile devices to listen to music.
Earlier this year, Steve Jobs announced that 200 million people
have iTunes accounts.In keeping with this trend, the open source community has
created dozens of projects to help you create, find, edit, organize
and manage your audio and video files.
