About GarageJam
GarageJam is an open-source music recording studio for GNOME, allowing musicians to compose, record, and share original music seamlessly on the Internet, while GarageJam Studio is a commercial music and audio recording app for the World Wide Web written by Aamot Innovation.
The latest release, GarageJam 8.0.0, is available in C and Python. It records audio immediately to Ogg Vorbis (.ogg) files in the current working directory, generates an XSPF 1.0 playlist of the recording in GNOME.xspf, and lets you edit metadata in .gjxml XML files from a GTK/GNOME wizard — all built on the Gingerblue Recording Studio API.
The latest IETF GarageJam XML draft is available at draft-aamot-garagejam-xml-01.
