Unfortunately, there probably is such a need. People may put up tracks where
the work belongs to others and indicate a license that they have no right to
apply. IIRC, the folks over at ourmedia.org ran into this issue a good bit.

I don't see the problem there. If we are careful with the licenses it
should be fine to host and stream the music. Now I haven't looked at
ccmixter.org in detail but it seems to be pretty large, complicated;
probably overkill for us. What I could imagine is taking the
lam.fugal.net-add-music-page and adding some stuff: _optionally_ allow
users to upload the file instead of (or additionally to) providing a
url, requiring them to choose a license (most likely Creative Commons)
that actually allows us to host and stream the file. Visitors can then
download appropriately licensed music from linuxaudio.org. Later we
could add a moderated or random stream, in addition to a m3u playlist.
I need to remember to comment on this when I have more time.

I am interested in such a site for music not only made with linux but
carrying Free licenses like cc BY and BY-SA. I would need help and also
am concerned about the legal aspects of running such a site. Are there
legal resources and a legal entity umbrella to help with this?
I'm sorry I can't help you with that; lam.fugal.net circumvents this by
only collecting links to such songs, not the data itself.
linuxaudio.org can help out with technical aspects: setup, provide
bandwidth, backup and diskspace. Someone else will need to jump in for
the license details. - I guess you will need to provide a phone-number
so that PPL can call in to remove cumbersome content :(
You are thinking DMCA type notification wrt "cumbersome content"???
