[Foundation-l] Commons music playlist

Mon Apr 11 04:32:58 UTC 2005

Hi,

for those who need a distraction, I just discovered Raul654's very nice 
list of free music files uploaded to the Commons so far (by himself, 
OldakQuill, Whyameye, and a few others):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sound/list

I made a playlist out of it which you can view at

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sound/list/playlist

Paste the URLs into a text file called "playlist.m3u" and load it with 
your favorite MP3/OGG player - it should automatically stream them from 
our servers if you have enough bandwidth. Lots of classical, but some 
modern stuff as well.

This is not completely off-topic -- I'm working on a press release for 
the 100,000th media file uploaded to the Commons (we're currently at 
70,000). Of course we're going to point out our large collection of 
songs, among other neat things. Help appreciated:

(English for now, call for translations will be separate.)

Enjoy,
