Will the RSS file thing just add each week to it (making one giant list of all songs throughout the year) or will the last week's entries get removed each week (making it just a list of the last week's songs)?
It will just add right now. might truncate it at some point if/when it becomes way too long. Not sure yet. No time, music make new submission. 
If the former, then that script will need a lot of work. If the latter, then it'll be a quick and easy fix.
]]>Edit: Just noticed the arrow down on the player, so never mind... my request is already live! I'm psychic! It would be really cool if this feature were implemented on CM.org, btw.
]]>Oh, and one thing that I noticed: the tweet says "140+" submissions but I only counted 136?
Yeah had to delete a few for now following the rules. 
Currently it will just grab every mp3 link in the RSS file regardless of week.
I'll edit it later so that way you can select which week of music you want to download.
But since only Week 1's music is up it isn't a big deal, I'll try to fix it before Monday.
Included inside of the zip file that it creates is a file called "copyright" that lists each song and what copyright the artist released their song under.
It should all be correct but someone should verify that the copyrights match up correctly just to be sure. From the dozen or so that I checked it seems to be accurate.
I'm currently running the script right now and when it's done I'll try to host the zip somewhere for you all (depends if it's too big for Mediafire or not, I forget what their file size limit was).
Unless you'd be down to host the file here on the site, trash?
EDIT: Hot damn, the zip is 750MB. Instead of putting it on Mediafire I think I'll just make it a torrent, might be a lot easier that way.
EDIT2: Here it is! I have the torrent running off of my home server so it will be up 24/7 but since my Internet isn't all that great some help seeding would be appreciated. Enjoy

I don't see that in Safari. What's the direct URL to the music feed?
I'm going to change it though, it lack the week #. Maybe prepend it to the song names or something. TO THE RESEARCH!
Edit: fixed.
]]>I don't see that in Safari. What's the direct URL to the music feed?
You do see it, its the first of the 3 gigantic squares above the logo on the right.
It links to http://weeklybeats.com/music/rss ... in itunes, go to the "Advanced" drop down, select "Subscribe to podcast", paste in the url, click ok.
]]>The problems I see with allowing this is that some people may not want their music to be park of such a pack, my other issue is that some poeple do not include their license information in the id3 tags. Making it hard to decipher license info.
Dunno about the id3 tag bit, but you could add a box people check when they upload asking whether they would allow the song to be packaged in this hypothetical zip.
I'm just going to stream the tracks off the site, personally. The player is nice enough to simply move on to the next track (Thanks for that, buy the way...it makes listening at work so easy and pleasant).
But I can see the allure of a zip I suppose.
