Just like all the damaged girls I attract, I can fix this one.

These two can answer any questions, but yes, they have hosting. Fountain is also a player, and I believe PodHome is working on a player too.

It's not that we don't like Wavlake, it's that Wavlake's code makes it so the Wavlake player can only play Wavlake music. If Wavlake's player played all RSS based music, I'd probably recommend most people use Wavlake. They give you a wallet and hosting and charge you 10% of your sats. Unless you're making $100 a month on your music, you'd pay less with a 10% cut than you would with a different hosting company charging a monthly fee.

Because they don't play all RSS based music, they go against my values, but if that ever changes, I'll send more people to Wavlake.

Podhome, Fountain if you want hosting.

Music Side Project if you want to host it yourself.

If you're looking for a turn key solution, a company like Wavlake that handles everything is exactly what you want.

Does Wavlake support your values?

Do you mind giving them a 10% cut in exchange for the service they provide?

If Wavlake works for you, use Wavlake, they're a great solution. But if you want more ownership, there's tools to do it yourself.

It's like changing your oil. If you know how to do it, you can choose to do it yourself or pay someone else because it's not worth the hassle. No shade with either decision.

Here's the album, available in all fine podcast apps.

Hosting this video, an image, and a song for 7 years cost 1000 sats.

If you're not willing to put in 1000 sats and 15 minutes of your time, can you really say you care about the distribution of your music.

Don’t use a host, do it yourself for less than 1000 sats.

You don’t want to use wav. Most podcasts are mp3, so I recommend mp3 files.

I actually already started nostr integration and abandoned it. I bet 90% of what you want is already here. https://github.com/thebells1111/msp-studio/commit/65e6e4437a9601efc97831a8aa6b3878445d9935

I started building this and got bored. Take it and make it your own.

Tell your AI to copy Music Side Project and output a nostr event instead of RSS.

If only the tech existed for such a fantasy.

Oh, and some random poetry, because why not?!?

Yeah, like what if we could spotlight all of these satellite bands spread around the world, and certain boosts triggered different effects, and there were hosts that could read the messages in real time. Man, that sounds like a rad event.

And good luck. The UI/UX of multiple splits is a tough problem to handle elegantly. I'm not sure there's clean way of doing it yet, but we'll get there.

Yeah, Wavlake handled splits on their server instead of your wallet sending multiple payments. It works, and given some of the limitations, it makes sense.

Right now there's a discussion if we shift that data over to nostr, or if it gets POSTed to server the podcaster or their host controls. metaBoost is the current proposal I'm most behind. https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/discussions/676

My 2 cents, send it to the podcaster's server, and if they want to post it on nostr, they can have a function that takes care of that. But there's a lot going on, like keeping track of how many sats were sent and the time sent that the podcaster is going to want to keep track of for potential tax reasons, so they'll want to store all of that data in their own data base.

Not saying signing a nostr note and sending it via relay isn't viable, but converting the JSON to a flat array, signing the note, etc is part of the discussion of how metadata should be handled.

I looked into that one, and it is a solution no doubt. Requires a lot of user interaction, and I was trying to minimize that. I was hoping I could use Strike OAuth Connect instead of API keys, but that requires a business to get the OAuth Connect API keys for my app. https://docs.strike.me/strike-oauth-connect/

Oh yeah, the boostable effects are fucking amazing. If people experienced the power of a live show that you as an listener can be involved in, they'd fall in love with all of this the same way we have.

Hmm... this is an interesting idea. You're listening data is tied to your npub, so you could listen to 30 minutes of a podcast in Fountain, then when you get to work, log into CurioCaster from your desktop and pick up right where you left off because your data is stored on a relay tied to your npub. 🤔

If you're focus is nostr, and I know that's where your heart is, the Wavlake api may be a better choice for you because of the way they handle the value block. Because nostr doesn't do splits very well, non-Wavlake feeds may be problematic for you.

However, if you're interested in other non-Wavlake music, the Podcast Index also has an API that lets you fetch all of the music feeds, but the value blocks are considerably more difficult to do using nostr based wallets.

Hopefully, nostr figures out an elegant way to handle splits, because it is really cool being able to have multiple people paid from the listener.

And I don't disagree that we're moving in a direction in which wallets are corporately captured, and most people will be using PayPal, CashApp, Strike, etc. At which point, your livelihood is just as compromised as using YouTube or Spotify. Say the wrong thing, and your wallet is shutdown.

That's one of the reasons why I'm surprised more 'freedom' minded people aren't hosting their own node.

Beautifully done!!!

Sovereign Feeds is a bit overkill for a music feed. If you decide to publish more songs, check out Music Side Project. It’s basically a stripped down Sovereign Feeds aimed at musicians.

NGL, if Right Said Fred publishes a feed published using Music Side Project, this will have all been worth it.

I’m too sexy for centralized music.

nostr:npub1uwjejfyn8j0e7t0cx3ys2h4nsk83fq8a6rz7mw2a7z97mnfwvcjqcvaxfl You excited about the 999 portal?

Whoa!!! This is legit a very unexpected and high honor!

Only 20 more to go! Congratulations!!!

Do you know of any decentralized music shows I could send a request for that song to played?

Have you seen any of the audio steganography? I’m just saying, if there’s ever a war, you can be like one of the Navajo Code Talkers with your mixed tapes.

When print? And how the hell did you do this without a Kinkos?

Man, I would love some nostr Trade Wars: 2002 and Legend of the Red Dragon.

Except even the stuff that could be replaced is just using it a Twitter alternative. Fountain could be a pure nostr app, host mp3s on relays, change the data structure and host the metadata on relays instead of RSS feeds, but it chooses to engage with the Twitter alternative and be a 'nostr' app.

Wavlake could do the same thing for music.

Even the apps that claim to be 'doing things different' are just using legacy protocols and tacking on the nostr Twitter feature.

I wonder if nostriches and podcasters are one people separated by a common language. What I mean by that is I hear stuff like RSS is okay, but nostr is better because it's decentralized. I've always seen podcasting (which is RSS) as decentralized, so I'm left wondering what does someone who says something like that mean by decentralized?
