We at Antenna Alliance (antalliance.org) have been working with last.fm in the last week to set up our label on the service, after which all of our artists' music will be up there. Last.fm provides a pretty easy to use (if sometimes really buggy) interface for labels to upload stuff, so we don't even need to schmooze the higher-ups!

sounds great. but the guy from here did already upoad some tracks from egoboobits to last.fm, but not in this way you are talking about. he did it on his own using tags and stuff like that, but it would be much more better to make such i kind of connection to last.fm like you suggest. now, the question is what think about this all the artists from our site? somebody of them are not in contact with the others anymore or didnt upload any musci for a longer time, so its a question what would there think about it. maybe some of them dont want anymore to give their music or even dont make music anymore. anyway, i gonna ask them on our mailnig list, and then i'll know more. of course, for very much of them i know they would like your idea, but i got to ask anyway. i cheked if somebody put some of egoboo music on freemusic.freeculture.org, and there is nothing of it there. so, i think the first thing to do is to put the artist from egoboo they want to be, on freemusic, and then we can go on. what are you think? 2007/4/16, Tim Cowlishaw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > > On 4/11/07, Elizabeth Stark < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > I'd love to coordinate on projects -- one that would be particularly > > helpful and not US-specific at all is the free music project located at freemusic.freeculture.org > > .
