| this site. It has very good search function that crucially allows

| That appears to be one person publishing their music under

|
| I think http://www.ccmixter.org/ would be a more likely
| candidate, or SoundCloud's search restricted to CC licenses.
| There are also lots of musicians publishing CC music on
| Bandcamp, but the site doesn't allow filtering by license.
| The best approximation I've found is searching _" some rights
| reserved" site:bandcamp.com_ with DDG and then checking which
| license the link points to.

| people accessing the internet via dialup.

| In case you didn't know, Freesound has an API:

|
| And publications: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=freesound
|
| I believe it's managed by the Music Technology Group at
| Universitat Pompeu Fabra https://www.upf.edu/web/mtg
|
| You can support it with donations:
