'Linux Music and Sound' is still a good

out of date?
Hi Michael:
Yes, I'm afraid much of it (most of it?) is out of date. It's probably
still useful as introductory material for Csound, Common Music Notation,
and a few other things, but I hesitate to recommend it.
you might still want to file an acquisition request in your local
public/university library :)
it's what i'm doing to silently sneak linux stuff into the heads of
students, and if it fails it has the nice side-effect to get some money
to authors and publishers....
