Hi Bob. Hi Mark. Enjoyed this episode quite a lot.
I almost exclusively use Creative Commons music for my day job (http://cbc.ca/spark). It allows me to mix a single version of our show for broadcast _and_ podcast.
One resource I use a lot is CCMixter, which allows me to search for music by tags. For example:
I clear myself the songs I play in the podcast. I write to the artist and his management declaring my intention. I was never asked not to play an artist.
Victoria Fenner had a blog entry last October where she nulls the “podsafe” concept, based on a decision by the Copyright Board of Canada. For amateur (i.e. non-commercial) podcasts, everything is podsafe right now in Canada: http://www.soundoutmedia.com/?p=78
Late again.
Particularly for instrumental music, there’s an interesting site in France called dogmazic.net, where I got the music for Movies For the Blind. Dogmazic has a crazy variety of material, all of it with Creative Commons rights (extremely detailed) set by the artist/group. There are English and German translations of the site, but its native language is French. It’s a wonderful place for music you’ll likely not have heard anywhere else. http://www.dogmazic.net
So… what is the price to monetize if you would like to move from non-commercial to commercial… do you have to go back and clear all the music from the original shows? How much would a license cost…

just wondering if you guys have ever thought about this…
I think you would have to go back and clear all the music. After all, the terms were agreed to, so if you go and change the agreement on your end it seems only natural that the other party needs to re-agree to the new conditions.
As for cost, well, that’s up to the rights-holders or their agents.. So we’re back to square 1

Thanks for using my suggestion! Great episode, and you mentioned a couple of sites that I didn’t of.
Jamendo.com is also a good site to check out.
Under the category of shameless self-promotion, I have various pieces of original Creative Commons music on my blog:

Another good show guys.
A good music source for podcasters which I’m sure you both know, but it didn’t get mentioned, is Ioda’s Promonet:

You can also subscribe to feeds for particular tags, or feeds of particular artists you like.

Sorry I’m late.
My podcast landlord Justin at http://www.publicbroadcasting.ca has accumulated a pretty great collection of podsafe (or whatever) tracks from mostly Canadian indie artists.
