Disagree.  The Linux  and Open Source audio tools might be immature but 
nevertheless you should use them and participate in a user group related to 
the tools.  Recall that DCMA was brought to you by RIAA.  The RIAA will 
*never* be an open source booster, will they?  OTOH, why does Pixar use Linux 
(http://www.architosh.com/news/2002-01/2002c-0130-linuxpixar.phtml)?  Why use 
sucky open source software?  Maybe for the same reason the sucky beginner 
plays the same riff over and over.

I found this (http://sound.condorow.net) when I was looking for a software 
transcriber similar to the Reed Kotler Transkriber 
(http://www.reedkotler.com/transkriber.htm).  I like Transkriber but I keep 
looking for an open source replacement.
