[LAU] Two (free) albums (free) tracks available on archive.org

[drew Roberts]

I have mentioned somewhere before (perhaps here) that it might be nice to have 
a little app that could convert (perhaps audio only?) ardour project files to 
traverso project files automatically. (even if only "multi track mixed down" 
versions of the project in ardour.)

This way people working in ardour could still easily supply multi track 
projects in a format what will work in different OS settings.

Thoughts?
