I've now added this page, but decided to leave it up to the individual
entering music whether they want to enter music that's already in other
archives.

Incidentally, I found the musedata project but couldn't work out how to
view any of their files (they seemed to be zips but unzip reported that
the one I tried was corrupted). Their license is also very restrictive
if you want to use the music in a commercial context.
