I was thinking the other day about the (relative) lack of open sound and music files on Wikimedia projects
I happened to browse on to MusOpen - http://www.musopen.org/blog/
Does anyone here happen to know them or anything about them?
Thanks
Chris

The last word Aaron Dunn has given is that the recordings funded by that Kickstart project will be made soon, in August or September. If the recordings are as good as Dunn and the backers are hoping, I imagine we'll want to use them prominently in a lot of our projects.

They are also interested in music education, and have done some work for introductory audiences.
For instance: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Introduction_to_Classical_Music
As editing becomes easier, hopefully more groups like this will start editing the projects directly.
