Flac - Feb 2006 - Creative Commons Music Torrents at Ogg Frog

Greetings,

I offer Bit Torrent downloads of music in Ogg Vorbis, FLAC and other 
formats at:

http://www.oggfrog.com/music/

It has a Creative Commons license and is completely legal to copy and share.

If you offer your music under a Creative Commons or similar license, I 
can host your torrents for you.  I'm not yet set up to accept file 
uploads, so I need you to send me a CD of your music via snail mail, 
according to the instructions at:

http://www.oggfrog.com/music/bit-torrent-hosting.html

You can send either an audio CD, or a data CD with WAV or FLAC files.  I 
can do the ripping, encoding and tagging for you, unless you prefer to 
do them yourself.

Torrent hosting is free of charge, and includes a separate page for each 
artist, with links to your website and anywhere your CDs may be sold online.

The Ogg Frog website at http://www.oggfrog.com/ is intended to be a 
valuable, free resource to help people get more out of digital music, 
free software and free music formats.

Besides the torrents, I'm writing a series of digital music how-to 
articles that are also under Creative Commons licenses, and developing a 
cross-platform CD ripper, encoder, burner, player and backup program 
that will be released as Free Software under the GNU General Public 
License.  I expect to release it this summer.  It will of course support 
Ogg Vorbis and FLAC.

I have written an essay as to why I'm doing all this that is available 
in rough draft form.  I'm not completely happy with it yet, and value 
any suggestions you may have for how I can improve it:

    Software isn't the only thing that should be free.
          Music should be too, as it once was.
