I think it should be free for listeners - but that bandwidth bill still has to be paid somehow. I guess you could ask for donations from music downloaders, but I don't think that would cover costs. > With the same goal, is ogg a good > idea? Yes I know it's free as in freedom, and mp3 isn't. I think you could offer oggs as first choice and then mp3 as an option for those who want it. > For the bandwidth, > maybe it's a stupid idea, but what bout a P2P network? It's not a stupid idea, but I don't know how you'd make a clear seperation between legitimate files that it's OK to redistribute, and unauthorised copyrighted music - excepting by linking the files to some kind of free music licence. Or a tag that says 'made with Linux(tm)' And I'm not sure how it would work to show off the Linux-made music - as I understand it, people who use P2P are searching for files by known artists. I guess you could put our music on an FTP site and say 'share this music with your friends, by any means at your disposal...' Cheers Daniel
