This is a great post and database but your link to it is a little messed up. You should start with "http://". Otherwise, the way you did it, they end up on http://www.popnomination.blogspot.com/Librivox.org (which is an error) instead of http://librivox.org/. BTW - my sites are full of such things.
Very cool! I work in audiobooks (at a large publishing house) and had never heard of this.
Oh rockin! They should have a website of music in the public domain.
There should be a database of where you can get free stuff (online, but one that isn't filled with scams and spam)
I was looking for something like this - thanks for posting!
