# kde does need songs, the long version of the oxygen sound theme was more usefull that
the intro song , we were able to use it in the marketing side of things, so i would intead
of shortening it expand it to way way longer. and do a sound that can impresonate all of it
(or a significant part of it)...
Even I agree: it's too long. It seems that I thought being compatible with Oxygen meant
keeping the same tempo, the same mood of the melody, and the Oxygen start up sound is
long too. So I made some quick and minor changes.
a) Raised a bit the tempo.
b) Remixed some elements and introduce a bit of noise.
The results are here.

I shaved off 3 seconds with those minor changes, without compromising the idea of this
new startup sound. Major changes still needed? Do we want instead of this a quick sound
like Windows 7? I'm open to suggestions.

Still default sounds are needed, right?
I like the new one very much, it's much modern but as already said it's a bit too long.
