Things like that are allready done or tried on a "professionel" level.
There was once somebody in comp.music.midi (?) with a studio and
Philipine singers, who wanted to produce stuff for Philipine discos.
Looking for basic tracks...............
But I dont understand, why you suggest putting things onto mp3.com. Why
support such "portals" ? "Label fetishism" ? ;-)
