I now have a directory full of music I've downloaded from this list, or from various
IRC channels. I often read lists or IRC while waiting for an export to finish, or a
software package to compile, or a Rosegarden MIDI track to get dumped into Ardour, or
listening to other music. So I just dl the file, and then listen to it later. Sometimes
*much* later.
And I have no idea who made it, or who to praise for it.
I just listened to one called "meditation-improv.ogg" which was fantastic. I
loved it. Also one called "adagio.ogg" which sounded like old Tangerine Dream
messing around with an Arp string machine.
Whomever did those, great stuff! And, it'd be great if you put metadata tags in your
ogg/mp3 files, so that others can know who to credit. It's free advertising for you if
the stuff gets forwarded around too.

Someone who reviewed my stuff [1] also said "add metadata", but didn't
explain how. For oggs, add a few more flags on the encoder command
line:
oggenc \
--comment "text" \
--artist "your name" \
--genre "whatever" \
--date "`date`" \
--album "none" ...

Ugh. Since I usually export to mp3/ogg/flac, I much prefer using EasyTag
to tag them all at once.

Hi Ken,
I'm definitely the guilty party for that one. Btw, did you hear the
version with the added environmental sounds or just the guitars ? The
latest version of that piece is available here if anyone else wants to
listen :
http://linux-sound.org/meditation-improv.ogg
I might do a little more to it yet.
Also one called "adagio.ogg" which sounded
like old Tangerine Dream messing around with an Arp string machine.
Not sure about that one, could you send it to me via email or post it
somewhere ? I'll know right away if it's one of mine.

You're right, it's a good idea, I'll start tagging my files.
Best,

It's "Adagio for Strings" if I don't mix things up (seems to be somewhat
famous, but I wonder if such a generic name can be unique). William Orbit
(producer on Madonna's Ray of Light) did an electronic version of this
classical piece.

Yes, now I recall Gordon's version.
That famous Adagio For Strings is by the 20th-century composer Samuel
Barber. It was also used in the movie Platoon.
It's a pity that people don't know more of Barber's work, he was a good
composer.

Since nobody's mentioned it: For anyone at the beginner level, Easy
TAG is an easy way to tag mp3 and ogg files if you forget to add them
while encoding.

true, but A4S is the biggest selling piece of classical music in the US
marketplace. it was displaced momentarily by Gorecki's 3rd symphony, but
i belive that william orbit helped it regain ascendancy. so they might
not know more of barber's works, but more people own his work than
almost any other composer! strange but true (until shot down in flames)

That's really strange. Barber's A4S could be put in the 'easy listening'
category (that's no comment on its qualities) but can you say the same
of the 'Symphony of Sorrows' ? It's captivating, but not so easy. And
much longer.
