That sounds liek a very interesting idea but what does it offer the
band?  If the band are a linux geeks and want to promote amarok then
great, but I would imagine that they aren't many bands like that, and
probably even fewer who are any good.

What we'd need to do is offer the band something more by doing an
amarok CD.  Somehting that they couldn't offer just with a data CD.
Some value added service that can only or best be achieved with an
amarok live CD.
