ArchLive Vol. 1 - A Selection of Music From Archive.org

After I learned about Archive.org, I wanted to have a way to share the music more with the public to spread the love of some of the amazing music hosted there. My hopes is to revel new artists to some listeners, and encourage them to listen to some new artists they may not have known about before. My approach was to try and get some jam bands together, to make a playlist of some enjoyable music. If you think I missed some great music, drop a line about some good artists I am missing out on!

Archive.org has a large collection of music at the Live Music Archive, that could be used for a variety of project's. Including a Pandora styled radio player, where similar artists play one after another, from the database of live shows. Allowing users to vote for songs they like and build up a similarity ranking among the music on archive.org. Also presenting a media player for all the music on the site at one location would also be beneficial!
 I hope these tracks are enjoyed and leads to new, free music discovery on Archive.org!
