Create Subcategories in the Sound & Video Category in Ubuntu Software Center  
Written by benpiller the 16 Sep 12 at 11:35. Related project: Ubuntu Software Center. New
In the Software Center there is the Sound & Video Category. If people want to install for example a Spectrum analyzer or a Digital Audio Workstation or a Mp3 TAG editor (there is so many examples) then it takes an extra time to go through the whole list and find the appropriate Software. Under the Science and Engineering Category there is a lot of subcategories. Ubuntu is really an optional solution for musicians, but this issue is a little bit annoying!

Solution #1: Create different subcategories
Written by benpiller the 16 Sep 12 at 11:35.
The Idea is to create more subcategories which are the following:

-Media Players (Music Players and video players)
The place for every kind of player, backends and Media center

-Video editors and tools
The place where every audio editor and their tools should be.

-Audio Editors and tools (DAWs, effects, score writers, converters, etc.)
This is the musicians' corner. The apps with audio modification ability should be here. This is also a good place for Audio converters, Mp3 TAG editors etc.

-System tools
In this subcategory people can find drivers, codecs and volume controls and everything what is connected with the system sound/video!
