*'''Detailed attribution''' on the information page is necessary, including:

:<font color=brown>**the name and number of the track, and the name and catalogue number of the CD from which it was taken, and the dateyear of publicationrelease.

When uploading the sound file, use the copyright tag [[Template:PermissionAndFairUse]]

This is what will then appear on the info page:

{{Template:PermissionAndFairUse}}

For an example, see the excerpt at the top of [[JS Bach]]; hit 'info' to see the information that relates to 'fair use' of the track at the top. Please note that it's hard to get permission from companies. We probably need a 'boilerplate' letter for the purpose of seeking permision.
