http://www.linuxaudio.org/mailarchive/lau/2007/11/15 we set up a
bare-bone
ccmixter.org intended for Music-Made-With-Linux. Should you
desire to style and maintain a ccmixter community: here's your chance.
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.
OK, but I am wary of that too, thoughts anyone? A ccmixter type site would
actually host files... Hmmm, I wonder if the code could be changed to let the
internet archive host the files?
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"???

Anyone interested? shall we stream random songs from
lam.fugal.net ?!
repeat talks from the LAC? or better no-stream than some weird random
mix?
Can you set up a rivendell box / network? (I can help with install and
config) If so, we could do a mix of automation and DJ picked programming.
Rivendell is quite fancy with what it can do.
If you email me a ssh-public key and a preferred username I'll set up
an account on
linuxaudio.org for you.
I will get that to you if this looks like it could go further.
a quick glance at
http://rivendell.tryphon.org/wiki/index.php/Install_under_Debian
we don't have X and we don't have jackd running (yet).
If this is only to be streamed, it can be done from a box with no sound card
if need be.
There are some alternatives to rivendell for broadcast radio in the linux
world, but I have not been able to wrap my head around the ones that seek to
be fancy like rivendell. I have run a few of the simple ones though.
If you want to try the current icecast - <<snip>>
If successful we can making
radio.linuxaudio.org a dedicated machine
(share bandwidth with
download.linuxaudio.org) as to not disturb users
surfing the web..
Well, the rivendell stuff would use the icecast stuff. Via darkice or ices.
This too would involve actually having the files to be played in an audio
repository and database as that is how rivendell functions. It is designed
for broadcast radio.
I'm off now, but I'll be back online later tonight and tomorrow.

Thanks for the response. I would like to kick this around some and see what
the interest and support levels are before jumping into something that will
be allowed to die. I would like to see these prosper if we start them up.
all the best,
drew
