Yup, hopefully the FMA and OLPC Free Music project and Rrcd Lbl will change
this, but I find it extremely difficult to find *any* CC music that I
actually really like. I'm also a big fan of electronic music, so that says
something. What I did find that was effective was getting artists who I knew
to release music that I liked under CC for the OLPC project (some of which
is BY-SA), but it took a lot of convincing...(Seems like it's the easiest
way to find CC music that I like though.)

I may be missing some of the CC music scene, but whenever I go to try to
find CC music, I may find something that is halfway decent, but my bar
should be if I'd actually like it if it weren't CC. And I am admittedly
picky, so that's a pretty high bar to pass.
