The world wouldn’t turn around if we wouldn’t atleast give a little bit credit to our co-workers, right? The ArtistPlug.ME network is more-or-less built upon existing Open Source software, glued together by Freaking Wildchild to one collective part, ready to be there for the common artist!

Of’course there is no off-the-shelf software available for the network which ArtistPlug.ME wants to be, since audio/video has been just coming thru the sundawn through youtube, google video, vimeo and all other alternatives and mirrors available on the Internet. A lot of tools are available alike these, but none are really targeted to the common audio-visual artist.

ArtistPlug.ME currently uses the following tools (and not limited to):

• Linux
• PHP
• Perl, CPAN modules and golden Perlmonks advice
• VisualDreams engine (written in Perl by Freaking Wildchild)
• Apache 1.3 and 2
• mySQL
• FFmpegX for on-the-fly conversion
• WordPress MU (BuddyPress and VisualDreams enhanced) with plugins:
  • Visual-sound Soundcloud/ArtistPlug.ME plugin
  • cforms-plugin
  • Gravatar plugin
  • Plugin Commander
  • Smart Youtube
• Inkscape and Scribus for site and logodesign
• MP3tag, Winamp, Cooledit PRO and Audigy for audio editing
• Brainpower, milk, cookies and lot’s more that isn’t open source yet! (can only wish!)

Big thanks go to those and lots more who has been actively contributing to the Open Source world!
