Get in touch with the Internet Archive, perhaps? http://archive.org/about/contact.php

Cool, thanks for the info! Amazon S3 costs are getting high so it would be nice to get some relief

What are you spending on S3? I can very nearly guarantee you could get a bare metal setup from just about anywhere for about 1/10th the cost.

You should team up with http://echonest.com/ they have the team and the experience and could probably help you do something cool with it. Given the seed terms; I'm imagining an infinite dub mix, where you pick and mutate beats and fade clips into each other. Too bad our legal system makes such a thing impossible.

Another vote for this option. These guys are ace.

Have you checked to see if they're on http://what.cd already? It's the de-facto bittorrent tracker for music. It is possible that many of those clips you have are already on there. And if not, you could seed them yourself :D

I'm sending you an email. I know someone at IMMuB (Brazilian Musical Memory Institute) [1] that will be interested in the Brazilian clips you have.

Thanks for posting!

I have a sign-up thing that collects emails in case I ever launch it http://recordbox.com/ As I said, has some speed issues.
