deadmau5 lets you remix his tracks ..

[M-.-n]

I think it terms of desktop apps, we have pretty much what fits the bill, no
matter what platform; even cool edit 95 would do it nicely. The whole point
for me would be to be able to do the listening & selecting part somewhere
else than in the 'studio' (extended to wherever your laptop might be). I got
plenty of moment where I can do listening/tagging without wasting time (my
favorite place: the bus) and then find a convenient way to transfer that to
the putie, and export all chunks in separate files that I can eventually fix
if the original selection was too coarse. The process would be rather simple
so it's totally doable on my usual PSP/DS/2x companion. The iTouches could
fit nicely if the transfer back to main putie wasn't such a pain in the
butt.

Yeah! Obviously - don't duplicate if there's something out there already... 
There's a huge amount to be learned from listening to music that's created
"in 
the flow", in real time or "in the moment", where, by definition, one cannot
be 
aware of what one is doing, or even of it's compositional value. But to get
to 
these nuggets requires something like a 10:1 ratio against material where
you 
know all-too-well what's going on, and which is all too familiar (one's own 
cliches cropping up in unending forms).

Hell yeah, if an application was *designed* from the ground up to make such 
listening sessions easier to navigate (a finely tuned UI comes to mind - the
UIs 
of most editors are always going to be over-spec for such operations), and 
provide annotation, then this would be of great benefit to musicians.
Tagging 
with locators and comments, maybe also cross-referencing too, would be
great. 
Currently I have used Ardour for such listening, as it provides some pretty 
amazing cue/review/marking which are required in a pro-multitrack studio
(even 
though I just use it for stereo recordings).

An interestingly different slice through the user population would find its
way 
to such an applicatiopn, over time. One request: X-platform pls :)

Maybe use Qt, cos then it can hit Symbian, Linux, Win, OSX all at the same
time.
