Hi all,
I'm publishing MP3s on my website for indexing by cc-friendly search engines and am a bit confused. Have I got this right?
- In MySong.MP3 file, ignore TCOP ID3 frame. Use WCOP & WOAP instead. [Or, for backward-compatibility, should I also provide "verify at" in TCOP?]
- In MySong.MP3 file, put URL to desired Creative Commons license (e.g., "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/us/") in WCOP frame.
- In MySong.MP3 file, put URL to MySong.MP3 file's official download page (e.g., "http://mysite.com/download/?SongID=7") in WOAP frame.
- On MySong.MP3 file's official download page (as before, "http://mysite.com/download/?SongID=7"), display license RDS (e.g.,
<span about="urn:sha1:MSMBC5VEUDLTC26UT5W7GZBAKZHCY2MD">MySong.MP3 is licensed under <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/">CC BY 3.0</a>.</span>
Will this get MySong.MP3 indexed properly? Is it okay to hide the RDS code from view of the visitor or is it recommended it stay visible for end-user verification of the file?
I apologize if these are dumb questions, but I need to get this right before turning things loose.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
