Chris, I'm REALLY REALLY happy to see you do this. It's been a long time |
| 2 |
coming. I have some suggestions/concerns though, as follows: |

> sound-encoders: anything that encodes/converts to mp3/ogg/whatever |
| 7 |
> sound-sheet: programs that deal with sheet music notation/reading |
| 8 |
> sound-editors: programs that edit audio files |
| 9 |
> sound-rippers: programs that rip audio from a source |
| 10 |
> sound-daemons: sound server programs go here |
| 11 |
> sound-taggers: programs that deal with audio file tagging (ie. id3 tags) |
| 12 |
> sound-synth: sound synthesizer programs |
| 13 |
> sound-tools: programs that don't fall into the above categories. I |

| 15 |
> sound-data: places for drum kits/sound presets/etc. |
| 16 |
> sound-streaming |
| 17 |
> sound-players |
| 18 |
> sound-filtering |
| 19 |
> sound-radio |
| 20 |
> sound-drivers |
| 21 |
> sound-DJ |
| 22 |
Can we just not make sound-mixers and sound-DJ the same? either way |
| 23 |
you're mixing, no? |
| 24 |
> sound-management |
| 25 |
> sound-midi |
| 26 |
> sound-mp3players |
| 27 |
why can't these just go into sound-players? Generally, the rule is 11 |
| 28 |
or more packages (I know it's not hard and fast, it's just been a |
| 29 |
general rule of thumb) minimum to create a new category, and mp3-players |
| 30 |
is just a specialised category from players. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
> sound-mixers |
| 33 |
> sound-dev |
| 34 |
> sound-accessibility |
| 35 |
I don't believe we need to divide the accessibility tools at this stage |
| 36 |
of the game. I think the sound-accessibility is just fine in |
| 37 |
app-accessibility, no need to move them. |

There's a few in there that I think wouldn't need to be separated either |
| 51 |
-- perhaps sound-daemons and sound-servers could also be combined? |
| 52 |
Also, maybe change sound-streaming to sound-streamers to be consistent |
| 53 |
with the rest of your list? |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
Anyway, my overall suggestion is perhaps to refactor your list somewhat. |
