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

>> ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?http://cchits.net
>>
>> For those of you who are artists that release your music under
>> Creative Commons, or if you're a podcaster, and play Creative Commons
>> tracks as a part of that, please feel free to give me a shout about
>> making the tracks you play available through the site with links back
>> to your shows:
>>
>> ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? email: show at cchits.net (currently just an alias

>> For those of you who might be interested in how it all hangs together,
