On the subject of internet radio. The traditional model is that a show is broadcasted at a certain time each week or day. This poses a problem for the potential listener who can’t make it to their computer at the designated time slot.

Having previous show archives available at all hours of the day help the situation. This way no one will leave unsatisfied who makes the effort to visit the website for the show. If, however, the show broadcasts commercial material then all of the restrictions that apply to the live broadcasts (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) apply also to the archives.

One way around all this is to create mixes that link to music that is already available for free. This could be tunes under a copyleft license, ‘legal music downloads’ like the ones discussed in the previous post, or anything in the public domain. Here I would like to present one of these playlists. Each track will need to be downloaded separately and will involve two clicks (sorry) — you are also welcome to stream these songs first.
