Amarok 2.0 Jingle Contest
=========================

   The Amarok [http://amarok.kde.org/] team needs your help. Amarok are
looking for a new, shiny and fresh jingle to play at first start of
Amarok 2.0 and are holding a contest to find one. Magnatune
[http://magnatune.com/] and ccMixer [http://ccmixter.org/] have
generously offered their help to get this going. The Amarok project will
award the winner with fame, glory and a load of cool prizes, including
$100 US dollars in cash and cool Amarok swag. The 2 runners up take away
some swag as well. Read on for the rules of the contest.

     So take some songs from the Magnatune-pool, get mixing and submit
it at ccMixer.org

     Judgment will be done by a totally-biased panel of Amarok people!


A. A FEW BORING WORDS ON LICENSING...

     As this jingle will be distributed along with Amarok 2.0, by
non-commercial as well as commercial distributions, the jingle needs to
be released under the Creative Commons by-sa license.

     Magnatune has allowed Amarok jingles using their samples to be

other source, they to will have to waive the non-commercial term for
this jingle or Amarok cannot use it.

     Good luck in your efforts to help us make Amarok 2.0 rok the
experience of music lovers everywhere!
