Nostr Web Client

Nostr.blue has a section dedicated to music that then plays on a persistent music player while you enjoy the rest of nostr. As you listen to tracks it will then publish nostr status updates around the tracks you're listening to similar to Spotify.

It supports two kinds of music sources. Our original is nostr:nprofile1qqszy58kj62v9fpe98nhuh0q76np4e0r0g0wd44rhth3wphdnyqjfzcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszxrhwden5te0wfjkccte9emkzanvv94k2tnrdakj7qgewaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8xmn0wf6zuum0vd5kzmp0tdvfl7 Music that shares their music catalog from their Podcasting 2.0 RSS service. You can then listen to artists and send them tips via Wavlake from the player.

I also just rolled in support for nostr native music that nostr:nprofile1qqsph3c2q9yt8uckmgelu0yf7glruudvfluesqn7cuftjpwdynm2gygpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszrnhwden5te009skyafwd4jj7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcafljxq created for NodeCast to nostr.blue. It looks for tracks published as kind36787 nostr events and playlists as kind34139 for artists that want to directly host and publish their own music. Tracks published to nostr are then hosted elsewhere like a blossom server. https://nostrhub.io/naddr1qvzqqqrcvypzqx78pgq53vlnzmdr8l3u38eru0n3438lnxqz0mr39wg9e5j0dfq3qyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2aqqp3kh2umfvvkhgunpvd4hx3g2vgy

I think the kind36787 is a great solution for building around 100% nostr native service. It empowers artists to have complete control around their music's distribution. This allows artists to bring their music directly to fans without any intermediary or outside influence. I think it can power some really cool services that could open wide new artist monetization by keeping the artist 100% in control of their distribution.

I love V4V but I'm also not against other monetization strategies. I could see a really cool strategy where tracks are hosted on a software stack similar to what podcast hosts use for dynamic ad insertions around their music playback.

You could still prioritize V4V by using your npub as an auth token to show if you've zapped the artist/track. If you have then the software plays the track for you immediately. If you haven't then it routes in a dynamic ad before the track plays that the artist could monetize from.

Once the artist controls the distribution the fun can really begin!
