If we are careful with the licenses it should be fine to host and stream the music. Now I haven't looked at ccmixter.org in detail but it seems to be pretty large, complicated; probably overkill for us. What I could imagine is taking the lam.fugal.net-add-music-page and adding some stuff: _optionally_ allow users to upload the file instead of (or additionally to) providing a url, requiring them to choose a license (most likely Creative Commons) that actually allows us to host and stream the file. Visitors can then download appropriately licensed music from linuxaudio.org. Later we could add a moderated or random stream, in addition to a m3u playlist. >> linuxaudio.org can help out with technical aspects: setup, provide >> bandwidth, backup and diskspace.

Is there really need for something like this? When we just accept properly licensed music files?
