“Today we are looking at consumer audio applications.
This includes apps for organizing and listening to music, CDs,
podcasts, Internet radio streams, and other audio sources. Also,
apps for burning CDs, tagging, fixing, and converting digital audio
files, as well as a few light recording and editing packages. This
article is the fifth in Tom’s Hardware Definitive Linux Software
Roundup, and the seventh installment of our continuing guide to
getting started with Linux for Microsoft Windows users. Below are
the links to our previous articles:

Part 1: Ubuntu Linux Installation Guide
Part 2: Run Windows XP In Ubuntu Setup Guide
Part 3: Internet Application Roundup
Part 4: Communications Application Roundup
Part 5: Office Application Roundup
Part 6: Image Application Roundup

“Originally, we intended to create a single article on
Linux-based audio applications. However, it soon became apparent
that the sheer number of audio production apps would not permit
this. So that we don’t bore casual users with audio production
jabber, this article is split in two: content consumption and
content creation. Most end-users will be more interested in this
article, while musicians and audio professionals should look to the
next one for their Linux audio needs.”
