Guys,

I am the founder of a similar project to yours called iRATE radio. It appears 
that both your project and ours aim to solve the same problem. Namely that we 
want to be able to listen to free and legal music without interference from 
the RIAA. Free radio on the Internet without the need for streaming.

Clearly our projects both have a different focus. You use P2P distribution of 
CC licensed music whereas we use web sites such as magnatune.com and iuma.com 
to distribute music directly via regular HTTP. We avoid P2P for political 
rather than technical reasons.

I'm not sure whether you were aware of the iRATE radio project when you 
started your project. iRATE radio started about six months ahead of 
Gnomoradio.

The reason I am sending this email is that I think it could be mutually 
benefician for our projects to work together to a certain degree. Perhaps we 
could aim for certain levels of protocol standardisation. Perhaps also 
certain levels of interoperability, for example it may be desirable to 
produce a client application which is capable of downloading music from both 
iRATE radio and Gnomoradio.

Anthony
