That seems best.

I think public domain would be preferable. I had not really though about 
how to communicate to people that they need to credit CC music authors.

I thought it was all public domain, but I don't know what Fenrir's 
process was for letting music contributors know that was the plan. I 
guess to be safe we need to coordinate with him and find out for sure. 
Fenrir, do you read this mailing list? :)

That sounds like a great idea.

It also reminds me that i hate how there is no way to update a 
music/sound file without wiping out its old name... but I can't think of 
a conveneint interface for that off the top of my head :P
