I have also, posted my 'response' . . . add your ideas and/or comments to this issue?
The true comparison is not between Linux and XP ... as Linux and Windows are the Operating Systems and not the Audio software.Generacion X wrote:Hello is my first one post. I am an XP and Mint user.
As a great fan of music that I am, a majority of the use that I give to my computer has to do with Audio. The Spotify program is impressive ans the musical base that has -- there is nothing equal and the quality and rapidity of fantastic reproduction. However, Spotify is not made for Linux.I can record the audio of the Spotify with Wavelab (cannot be compared with Audacity). I reproduce music with Aimp2, for the best sound. I have tested various programs of Linux and the song is cut off, if I want to hear some seconds ahead or move to the next song, these things do not work with Aimp. The Songbird imitates visually to Spotify but does not equal the flow not is it as fast. Conclusion: Linux for "quality of Sound"?
I can configure and process mp3 with XP -- can I do this 'faster and better' with Linux? Thanks.
The Audio and Video aspects are relevant on which software applications/programs you use and which are made for Linux and how they compare with what is available for Windows.
Agreed, that the software applications for both Audio and Video are not as mature as many of the programs made for Windows, but the Developers for Linux are starting to make better and better Audio programs for Linux and in the next few years, I would expect them to surpass Microsoft in this area.
Most of the major software applications used in Professional Grade Systems for both Audio (Music) and Video (Cinema) are software made for Linux.
And, sooner or later, these will filter down to the common user.
