ole (Slashdot reader #19,909) writes in about his free, Norwegian open-source music recording studio for GNOME called GarageJam, which he says allows musicians to compose, record, and share original music seamlessly on the Internet. The latest release, GarageJam 8.0.1, is available in C and Python . It records audio immediately to Ogg Vorbis (.ogg) files in the current working directory and lets you edit metadata in .gjxml XML files from a GTK/GNOME wizard — all built on the Gingerblue Recording Studio API.

Ole shares links to its IETF GarageJam XML draft and GitHub repositories , and there's also GarageJam Studio , "a commercial music and audio recording app for the World Wide Web written by Aamot Innovation from Norway.".

ole is also spreading the word about GNOME Media , which "puts internet radio and your photographs on one OpenStreetMap... built from GNOME Radio 85.0.1."
