Now make it work on AMD iGPU/XDNA

These sort of functions are what have me excited for "AI PCs". NPUs have a lot of potential!

The newly available OpenVINO AI plugins are for Windows only.

This stinks given that Linux keeps growing it's user base.

Yes, as soon as AMD supplies an alternative for openVINO.
How is audacity supposed to make an API for intel work on AMD?!

What is audacity's status now? Ownership was transferred and there was some issues with what was included, privacy or its openness or something. I took a look at wikipedia but doesnt seem to jog the memory.

Something like this?

I like the idea of being able to actually split music back up into individual instruments/vocals, but I'm hoping the Audacity spin-offs are able to incorporate it into their branches of Audacity.

They work on Linux, but for now you need to compile yourself. Intel is looking to get installers going for Windows and Linux soon.

Audacity now has automatic update checking and crash reporting, but doesn't store any personal data.

Tenacity, the only fork which still has some development going, has announced on Mastodon: "We aren't going to fork this module to make a Tenacity-compatible version. We want to focus on other things that require much more attention, such as our libmad and libid3tag forks."

A bit of a shame then. But I expect it'll eventually show up in other ways at some point. Wouldn't be the first time some enterprising user with the coding skills chooses to make a fork compatible.
