> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1<br>> <br>> Hi All,<br>> <br>> A few months back, I was talking to a few of you about an idea for a<br>> podcast that I'd had. The podcast was designed for a few separate<br>
> purposes:<br>> <br>> 1) It showcases great Creative Commons licensed music tracks, giving<br>> favour to tracks preferred by the audience.<br>> 2) It's a programming project, to see how easy (or hard!) it is to<br>
> create an automatically produced podcast.<br>> 3) Once a few tracks have been added, it should be possible for public<br>> spaces (such as, oh... I dunno, maybe a hackerspace?) to download a<br>> long series of tracks (maybe listed in hours - like "8 hours of<br>
> Creative Commons, Family Safe Music" or "24 hours of music, including<br>> non-family-friendly music") to provide background music for the<br>> venues, without (theoretically) requiring a PRS or PPL license.<br>
> 4) It encourages existing podcasts to play Creative Commons licensed<br>> tracks and get feedback from their audience on which tracks are<br>> enjoyed by their listeners.<br>> <br>> For those of you who might like to hear some Creative Commons music,<br>
