This is Linn Products' Open Source Software site.
Linn has 35 years of experience designing and manufacturing products that meet Linn's vision of Music for Life. The marriage of digital music, open protocols and open software bring a fantastic opportunity to collaborate with those that share our passion and enthusiasm for music.
Open source software enables Linn to collaborate with developers to build innovative and bespoke solutions to experience and explore Music for Life.
Openness provides the following benefits for customers,
- The use of open audio formats prevents format lock-in, freeing the customer to access their music in perpetuity
- The use of open interfaces prevents customer lock-in, freeing the customer to choose best-in-breed products from many vendors based on merit
Openness means music is the centre of your home, rather than a product.
If you wish to start developing with the Linn Open Source code go to the developer program for build instructions and to view the software architecture documentation.
