These seem to be the key considerations:
B (3) says the NC-licensed work may be used in connection with
advertisements for third-party products or services if it's not the
primary draw or a substantial amount, both qualitatively and
quantitatively
C (2) says that if money being charged for a service is incidental to
the use of the NC-licensed work then it's okay (so you could charge
to print copies of an NC-licensed work)
D (1) (c) says that money may change hands if the NC-licensed work is
not "the primary draw or is an insubstantial amount, both
qualitatively and quantitatively"
D (1) (d) says that money may change hands if the contributions are
optional eg. tip jar, donations, and the contribution is to an
individual, an educational institution or a non-profit organization
So if a collection of NC music tracks is your primary draw, you can
ask for donations to support your site but you can't have advertising.
