Why not just let the opsound.org people do it? That's the place where the original files were found and are being distributed from anyways. Just find the appropriately licensed music, and away you go. I think the only thing you'd really need to do is perhaps create a page on a website somewhere (voip-info.org, or the like) that is just a list of recommended, license acceptable music for Asterisk (or any other system), and then grab them yourself. You'd not be exposing yourself to a whole lot legality wise, since that is the opsound.org peoples problem. The trick is just listening to a bunch of music that would fit into a narrowband codec, doesn't have any major volume changes, and is instrumental only. That's really where the work lies. http://www.opsound.org: "Opsound is a gift economy in action, an experiment in applying the model of free software to music. Musicians and sound artists are invited to add their work to the Opsound pool using a copyleft license developed by Creative Commons. Listeners are invited to download, share, remix, and reimagine." -- Leif Madsen. http://www.leifmadsen.com http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/asterisk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
