Free music file formats software for linux

Subsonic is a free, web-based media streamer. Although primarily designed for MP3, it works for any audio or video format that can stream over HTTP (for instance WMA and OGG).
With Subsonic you have access to your entire music collection wherever you are. Use Subsonic application to share your music with friends, or to listen to your own music while at work. You can stream to multiple players simultaneously, for instance to one player in your kitchen and another in your living room.
Subsonic is designed to handle very large music collections (many thousand albums). It uses a combination of directory structure and tag parsing to organize the music.
If you have constrained bandwidth, you may set an upper limit for the bitrate of the music streams. Subsonic will then automatically resample the music to a suitable bitrate. (Supported for MP3 only).
In addition to being a streaming media server, Subsonic works very well as a local jukebox. The intuitive web interface, as well as search and index facilities, are optimized for efficient browsing through large media libraries.
Subsonic is free software distributed under the LGPL open-source licence.

Denemo is a unique score editor which exports notation to LilyPond and ABC music formats. Denemo also acts as a frontend for Csound score files. Denemo is different from most graphic music editors, this is partly because it was created to help edit Lilypond notation and partly because of its unique design philosophy.

LilyPond is a music typesetting system which uses definition files written in plain text and outputs beautiful music. Please see the LilyPond homepage for more information about LilyPond.

Denemo tries to mimic the speed of notation entry in Lilypond as much as possible. Denemo sports a clean uncluttered interface with a very keyboard centric bent. This makes score creation with Denemo both quick and intuitive.
