Unfortunately, it sounds awful. And looking through jamendo's library, the pickings there are pretty slim as well. It has been my experience so far that quality open source songs are few and far between. Looking through copyright free images has yielded about the same results. As far as open culture goes, I have yet to see any real, genuine success outside of professionals that establish themselves commercially and then turn open. Is it really possible to establish something openly from the very beginning? I haven't found any examples yet, but if anyone is able to find them, I'd be very curious to see how they manage to stave off initial costs. I posted about Lastwear, an opensource clothing company. They recieved their funds through kickstarter, basically by asking for donations. They got their money, but according to their website and the financial information they've posted, it still hasn't been enough and they're close to going under. So while openness might be great in industry and the scientific world, I don't see it turning out any Mozarts in the near future.
It's a good idea guys, but you're not quite there. Maybe if you had an incentive to practice, like... making money?
