Welcome to cacophonous.org - the New Music Announcement Service
Cacophonous.org hopes to become an addon service to a series of systems for announcing and aggregating newly available contemporary classical MP3's. It will provide a listing of new MP3's, a space for commentary, and a series of RSS feeds and ready-to-play playlists. As a first pass, when you click on the Play This Page link on the right, you'll be taken to a Webjay playlist where you can listen to any of the MP3's listed on the cacophonous.org home page.
Use del.icio.us to tag URL's for deep-linked (or not so deep-linked) MP3's. You'll need to set up a del.icio.us account which takes approximately 2 seconds. I propose one tag for our community for right now, but can envisage a few more:
Whenever a new work is tagged in this fashion, it'll show up for anybody who has subscribed to mp3_classical_contemporary tag in their inbox. You 'post' your MP3 URL and tag it with one of those tags. I'd suggest we begin using it for new works and not for our entire catalogs. Users that want to see these new works can subscribe to these tags in their inbox or the RSS feed at cacophonous.org or by visiting the cacophonous.org website.
Use URL: for the MP3 or OGG URL, Description: for title and composer name and Notes: for a URL of your homepage. I'll be adding support for the notes field shortly. And Tag: mp3_classical_contemporary.
Cacophonous.org is basically going to be a addon service provider to the del.icio.us tag feed, for adding comments, and getting the service into full blown activity.
