I have tried this on Fountain.fm but they kicked me off saying music wasn't a podcast :(
Do you think it's still worth another go?
Put your music on an RSS feed so music podcasts can play it. Listeners can send sats directly to YOU when your song plays (value for value) AND your tracks will show up on every Podcasting 2.0 app including LNBeats.com

Definitely. The first time can be strange and confusing but once you lock it in it’s really easy.
Yeah, definitely try again. Fountain is just a player. It's not for hosting. Plus they have their radio and I can find all the music RSS feeds on there so that doesn't make sense.

What are you looking for?
1. Easy. Someone else handles all of the hosting, but you have to pay at least $5 a month or 10% of your sats. You have to trust that the person hosting your music won't deplatform you.
2. Bring you own wallet or use theirs. You get a wallet handed to you that someone else controls the keys to, again, you have to trust that that platform won't demonetize you.
3. A little bit of work getting set up on a CDN, but cheap, usually about $1 a month. You have to bring your own wallet but nobody can pull your music, because it's on a server you have control over
4. If you already have your own website that you can drop files on, then it can be done for no extra cost, but a little bit more work (though not much).
Let us know your goals so we can let you know which options work best for you.
I imagine 3
Music Side Project, a Fountain wallet and a host is all you need. MSP even provides a hosting option.
Here's an article I wrote back in 2023. It needs some updating but it's mostly still good info.
