What this episode covers

<p>This month we have the second Friday Number Five of 2025. At the end of January we started another irregular series of Radio Miaaw: podcasts of music issued under Creative Commons licences; a theme we last explored four years ago.</p><p>This month we have a special and unexpected surprise. Moby and Little Walnut Productions have re-launched &lt;strong&gt;mobygratis&lt;/strong&gt; with, their words “phenomenally expanded functionality and resources, making it the most robust iteration yet”.</p><p>They go on to say that “With the addition of 300 previously unreleased tracks, mobygratis provides creators with a revolutionary platform for accessing restriction-free music. This collection is part of an anarchist experiment in creative freedom, allowing unprecedented access to high-quality compositions.</p><p>Previously available only as stereo masters, mobygratis now offers hundreds of multitrack audio files. These high-resolution tracks invite collaboration by enabling creators to remix, customize, and fully adapt the music to their unique projects, fostering a spirit of shared creativity and innovation. </p><p>Formats include stereo MP3, stereo WAV, and multitrack WAV - all completely free”.</p><p>In this episode we dig deeper into #mobygratis, take a look at the contract you receive when you register and download one or more tracks, and listen to a not-quite-random selection from the tracks available.
