Tux Power! - a compilation of music made with Linux Posted Jan 16, 2006 21:05 UTC (Mon) by Ross (subscriber, #4065) [Link] Several tracks are license "all rights reserved". How is that compatible with a freely-distributable CD? Or is it only for direct download from the site?
Tux Power! - a compilation of music made with Linux Posted Jan 16, 2006 23:21 UTC (Mon) by bronson (subscriber, #4806) [Link] Some of those tracks show promise but the files are overcompressed. Even Moonlight Sonata sounds like crap at 50 kbit.
I'd like to hear the music the way the composer intended.

As the article clearly states:-

and then states:-
Tux Power! - a compilation of music made with Linux Posted Jan 17, 2006 12:55 UTC (Tue) by bronson (subscriber, #4806) [Link] But I don't want to distribute the CD. I just want to listen to it.
And, if they wanted to avoid server meltage, why not just use bittorrent? It works great.
Tux Power! - a compilation of music made with Linux Posted Jan 17, 2006 15:06 UTC (Tue) by xtifr (subscriber, #143) [Link] Yeah, at a bare minimum, they could offer FLAC. I don't need or want full WAV files when I can get lossless FLAC. I mean. it's nice that this was all made using FLOSS, but I download several gig per month of completely free (as in beer), legal AND lossless audio files from people who actually earn a living performing with actual physical instruments and such. If a bunch of stoned-out DeadHeads and the like can figure out free lossless audio compression and bittorrent, how come these guys, with (apparently) much greater technical skills, can't?
