The real value of doing this would be if you and/or the artists
created step-by-step descriptions of how each track was created. It
would be even cooler if you included the raw sources so that readers
could work through the process themselves, like a programming
example. You wouldn't need to do this for every track - even one such
example would make the book extremely valuable. Even a few short clips
would be awsome.
It's often a little difficult do describe in words how something
sounds, especially to someone who's untrained. Real examples would be
invaluable, especially for people with strong music backgrounds, but
are newcomers to linux. Come to think of it, it would probably be
valuable for linux savvy people who are new to high-end audio.
Well that's my $0.02, anyway.
