Free Music Distribution Setups

Free Music Distribution Setups

In this post I want to consider what would be a good setup, hardware and software wise, to distribute Free Music in the particular case of a DJ or musician or band doing a Free set or a Free show.

Consider:

D-Link DSM-G600 Wireless G Network Storage Enclosure
plus an installed disk.

or

N+ Wireless Router plus a USB external disk or USB flash drive.

all songs to be played could be loaded onto the gear and made available for download before, during, and after the set or the show.

Consider:

Zoom H4 Handy Recorder


The show itself could be recorded and put on the earlier system for download immediately after the show.

I am looking for other ideas along these lines as well as pointers to other hardware that could do the job better and or cheaper.

Do you know of any Free Music artists / DJs doing something like this now?

What about video of the event? Would that be more difficult license wise?

all the best,

FreeMusicPush

FreeMusicPush

This is the beginning of the Free Music Push. (Libre Free that is. FAIF Free that is.)

I have also set up the FreeMusicPush google group.

Please join the group if you are interested in fostering Free Music and those who make it.

Please join the group if you make Free Music.

Please join this group if you are a DJ who would be willing to play a Free Music set or night.

Please join this group if you are a musician or in a band and willing to play a Free Music set or show.

Please see Freedom Defined if you want to know what we mean by Libre Free. Freedom Defined google cache.
