Hi list, I had a nice chat with Greg DeKoenigsberg some days ago. He kindly propose to join this mailing-list. So here am I. I would like to present our project Jamendo (sorry for the ad Greg asked ;) ). http://www.jamendo.com/en/ Jamendo is an internet platform that distribute to a large scale Creative Commons licenced music. The original thing from jamendo, is that we distribute the music using P2P technology, in particular, we use BitTorrent and eMule/eDonkey networks, thus reducing our bandwidth needs. http://www.jamendo.com/en/static/concept/ We also integrate things "à la mode" like tags, ajax functions for recommendations, even a spy "à la digg". We use the power of social networking to filter the CC content submitted by artists. http://www.jamendo.com/en/?p=tags http://www.jamendo.com/en/spy/ There's no chart on jamendo. Your taste, your rating, peer reviews, number of downloads, help you find surprisingly good music. We just crossed the symbolic line of 1400 different complete albums online, we distribute 300.000 complete albums per month with P2P technology (hi-fi with no ads), we have 1 million streaming song previews (low-fi and ad supported) per month. The album base is growing exponentially. We provide both MP3 and OGG ! The albums you find on Jamendo gather all kind of music and represent many countries such as France, Spain, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Italy, Japan, Chile, Australia, Israel and recently New Zealand. More than 20.000 members have already registered on the platform. http://www.jamendo.com/en/?p=stats Part of our software is published on sourceforge. Volonteered have developped amarok plug-ins, firefox seach plug in ... other will come ... We have a pretty simple api : http://wiki.jamendo.com/index.php/EnMusicApi Voilà ...
