Last I checked, they let you use BY and BY-NC but would not let you use BY-SA.
The reason being that they want eveything on the site to be remixable with
everything else on the site going forward. This makes sense.
However, if they were to use BY and BY-SA and not NC, then everything would
also be remixable. Hence my semi-frequent request for them to run an
alternate Free_ccMixter type site.
So far, no joy on that front.

Here is how you browse by those sorts of tags:
http://ccmixter.org/media/tags?all=1
And for all the BY works on the site:
http://ccmixter.org/media/tags/attribution
They are showing 2811 as the number of items with that tag at this point.
all the best,
