In any event, if you are to do this, I would suggest that it be organised privately, rather than publicly on the Barrow-Downs.
I wouldn't mind making it my personal pet project.... if I knew where to find as commited tolkien fans as we have in here! I'd gladly open up a free forum but it'd take me years to gather the kind of people that visit the 'downs.... would it be ok if I opened a thread asking for volunteers to help with the recording? I don't think it can be done any other way....

Edit: Note to self: don't try to discuss something important while writing a lab report... you are bound to forget half of what you want to say.

Anyway, on second thought it should be The Barrow Wight choice to allow (or not) such thread.... but if you don't mind, you could comment on the legal side (as far as your understanding goes) of such thread
