While I occasionally post tunes here (rather disappointed that I got
no comments on 'Clockworks'). I'm more inclined to post the links on
LAM, and frequently go there to see what others are doing. On the one
hand I think it's a pity there is no facility for making comments, but
at the same time it results in a very clean site where you can quickly
find what's there.
Also, I like to get Linux Audio out to the 'others'. I am quite well
known on the KVR music cafe and on Kara Moon. Both are very active
forums (especially KVR) and you can get a lot of good ideas and
suggestions there. Also the competitions are good for spurring you on
to move outside your comfort zone.
Although I like this dedicated LAU list, and have picked up a lot of
useful info here, I think we should beware the risk of becoming elitist.

I see that music is been posted on all LA- lists
occasionally, but I
was never sure whether it was the right place for posting (the various
LA- lists)
At some point someone on the LAU list wondered with all the rather
technical discussions going on: where's the music?
So a few people started to post about their music made with Linux now
and then.
James Shuttleworth, who was likely the most productive of all of us for
a while, thought it would be good to have a dedicated list for that. So
he set one up. But assuming not that many people subscribed, some
started to post to both LAM and LAU about their music. Others continued
to post to LAU only.

It would be nice to have a place where Linux
music is posted and
people (audiophiles/musicians/linux geeks) make comments about it and
generally, hang out, say like http://www.zoxsy.com/
http://lam.fugal.net/ used to be a place where you could leave links to
tracks with short descriptions. No comments, AFAIR, though.
archive.org has an "open-source" music section and there is a
"Linux"
keyword in use. I'm afraid you will find lots of podcasts and such
there, though:
http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=subject%3A"Linux" AND collection
%3Aopensource_audio
We could agree on a more specific keyword, but things like this tend to
not spread as they should.
Regarding the "it would be nice", sure, it's always the same: you need
someone to take care of it ;)
