"As we enjoy great advantages from the invention of others, we should be
glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours, and
this we should do freely and generously."

Pennsylvania for his "Pennsylvania Fireplace", c. 1744
Another criticism, and one I think is more important
than quibling
over small changes to vocals, is the copyright.
You obviously want people to hear it, so why restrict copying? I
can't mail this to a friend, make a copy for my walkman or do any of
the many things that would get this listened to by a wider audience
than the list.
Why not use creative commons? http://creativecommons.org/
If you want to keep it "pure", use the no-derivatives option. If
you're worried about people not knowing it's yours, use the
attribution option. If you don't want people to use your song
commercially without seeking a separate license with you, use the
non-commercial option. Or mixtures of these.
James,
Speaking of which, how could I mark the song as licensed under
Creative Commons non-commercial/attribution license. I have no idea how
to place that in the id3 tag or anywhere else.
