[edit] flac?

Well flac would be nice. But still i can't find any trace of it on the jamendo website.

Why is the music available in MP3 and OGG?

We provide music in the MP3 format for compatibility with most software and hardware music players. We also provide music in the Ogg Vorbis format because of its technical superiority and freedom from patent and royalty issues. Once registered on jamendo you may tune your preferences to download or stream music in either format.

Yes I think there is sadly no Flac download :-( I just uploaded an album, "Afternoon", in flac format but was only able to download it in OGG or MP3 format. At least they didn't sample rate convert it from 48KHz to 44.1KHz.

I guess this is what's called "original research", right?

There is a discussion thread here on their site where they say they use Flac internally but not for download yet [1]. The end of the thread indicates that they will add it in the future. On this basis I will remove Flac from the article for now.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Logo-mauriz.png

Image:Logo-mauriz.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:21, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stats in the info box

I just found on this site that there are not 4000+ artists as the infobox says but "only" about 3550 artists represented in Jamendo (as of november 2007), whereas that page says something about 337259 artists. So there seem to be some inconsistencies both within Jamendo and between Jamando and Wikipedia. Anybody an idea how to deal with this? - Torstenphilipp (talk) 17:03, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
