Hi Paride. I am just another user myself, but I think I can answer some of your questions.
First of all, if I remember correctly, all music on Libre.fm has free licenses. Creative Commons Non-Commercial is the most restrictive license that is used on music in Libre.fm. This means that you can play all the music on Libre.fm in public without having to get any special deals. Libre.fm has public API:s that you can use, but you could even get the server source code and run your own server if you wished to do so. But then you would need to make sure that you can set it up properly and make sure it is stable and all. You could of course set up a server of your own just for testing. If you have some patience you'll probably get a response from one of the devs or site admins soon. /Natanael L, sent from my phone Den 1 feb 2011 16.52, "paride piccinini" <[email protected]> skrev: Dear LibreFM, We are a group of Italian designers (eng, arch, designer, botanist).. We won a competition for the requalification of a very small square near Milano. We have only few months to finish the project, realize it and open the public space before summer. We proposed a system of public and outdoor speakers that are interactive (via wifi, laptop and smartphone) and that give to the users the possibility to load songs on a playlist ("as a public jukebox"). We thought to use a service as LFM, subscribing an annual account/agreement between the municipality and LFM(as a normal user, if possible). Then a webmaster would develop an interface (API) to let the people interact with LFM(via the council public and free wifi network). The users should choose songs and add them on a playlist, check the current playlist. The purpose is absolutely non-commercial, but educational, public and cultural. Obviously it would be a great advertising also for you, and a new idea for public space in Italy. Do you have API? Do you think this project will be possible with your provider service? Do you allow public uses of a public account of LFM? There is an LFMoffice in Italy to speak with? I would appreciate a detailed answer from you, Thank you, eng. Paride Piccinini
