Libre Music Making Software

[woods alive]

Seems a more fitting acronym than the current name. (I've yet to see it deal with media other than audio/music, but it's not just Linux software even if that's where the primary development occurs.) This name also works as a "backronym". Which means many existing things stay relevant. No need to change website or confusion about what the software is.

Any other thoughts on this?

Might be something to consider if there's ever a re-vamp in the logo and such.

Personally, I think the acronym LMMS fits the program, I just think that perhaps instead of Linux MultiMedia Studio, it should just be Libre MultiMedia Studio or perhaps Libre MusicMaker Studio.

But do most people know what Libre means? That's somthing to consider, we need a name that the music community (music makers, DJs, people interested in music) will understand, and will remember. And I'm not sure that any of these suggestions are the greatest, but what can I say. I called my first song Moar Growlz...

EDIT: and the name needs to sound appealing.

LMMS works fine as a brand. E.g. how many people remember or care that BP fuels used to standard for "British Petroleum" ? Or even remember what KFC used to mean .

Or you could always try Little Music Making System.
