PenguinSong notes

[mdlbear]

There need to be at least two versions of the PenguinSong distribution:

• Album -- a stripped-down version suitable for use on a CD with a sizeable number of songs in the form of CD-audio tracks. This would be something like Lamppix Mini, which comes up in a self-contained kiosk mode both serving and viewing (in Firefox) a set of web pages.
• Single -- a more complete version for a "super single" CD, holding a small number of songs plus a reasonably complete set of tools for recording, remixing, and so on. It also wants tools for uploading project files and remixes to PenguinSong.net.

There's not much point in having a full "workstation" distribution, since anyone who wants a hard-disk based music workstation could, and should, simply install DeMuDi. There will have to be a set of Debian packages for installing the scripts that make it easy to construct and burn a PenguinSong-based CD.

As mentioned above, PenguinSong.net becomes the community site for people collaborating on and redistributing PS-based albums and singles. (Hopefully there will be such a community. Luckily it seems to be easier to build a community around a cool set of tools than around some wishful thinking about a potential business model.)
