Common Media Projects/Music loops

From FreeGameDevWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

< Common Media Projects

This is a relatively simple project. Freely licensed music is taken and edited slightly, so that it loops better (and thus is better usable for example for background music in games.)

The folder of this project is "cmp/trunk/loops"

File formats

Music must be submitted in Vorbis (.ogg, quality 7 or better) or FLAC (.flac, compression 8) format.

File naming

The file name must contain the interpreter's name, the music track's title and the editor's name (with an indicator that s/he is the editor). For example:

Zeropage - Ambiphonic [qubodup loop].ogg

Additional information can be included in the name. For example the album name (if any) and the release year.

Copyright information

See Common_Media_Projects/Licensing

A file of the same name, plus the ending .txt must be included and contain the copyright information. An example file name is:

Zeropage - Ambiphonic [qubodup loop].ogg.txt

The file should contain:

  • Interpreter name
  • Interpreter homepage or email address, if known
  • Track title
  • Release year, if known (of the original, not of the loop)
  • Editor name
  • Editor homepage or email address, if known
  • License name
  • A link to the license text
  • If the license requires any other text to accompany the files (as does the GPL) this text should also be put in that file.

An example for Zeropage - Ambiphonic [qubodup loop].ogg.txt is:

Ambiphonic by Zeropage <http://www.zeropage-media.com/> released 2006
