Tryna find ways to promote my music
Discussion
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

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?
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.

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.
