Why do you not reach out to me when releasing new songs worthy of being played on Lightning Thrashes?

Finding music is a huge pain and your song could easily get lost in the sea of AI garbage that exists.

Anyone out there who has value for value metal (or punk) songs and would like them played on the only v4v metal music show, please send them to me!

I didn't know.. so wavlake content are replicated to lnbeats.com ? #asknostr

Sir Libre 11mo ago

That's correct. Wavlake uses RSS technology under the hood. Basically your music album is a podcast with a special tag that classifies it as music.

Any modern podcast app can find your music anywhere in the world and if the app supports bitcoin lightning you can receive boosts and boostagrams for your music. Pretty cool.

You may notice that there are a lot more value for value songs listed in lnbeats that you will not be able to find in the Wavlake (WL) app. This is because while WL blocks artists that do not host on their platform. It's basically a one way walled garden. Everyone can see inside but those inside cannot see out.

I encourage you to use a modern podcast app such as Fountain, Curiocaster, Podverse, PodcastGuru etc. and explore the music that's out there and support other musicians.

If you're new to this space here are some resources that may be useful.

There are a lot of v4v music shows.

Go to https://lnbeats.com/ and click Music Shows.

All v4v music shows on LN Beats can be found in fountain as well.

----

I think the real takeaway from this story is that having thousands of podcasts spread out on thousands of servers hosted by thousands of people all over the world is nearly impossible to "police"

Having thousands of podcast hosted on a handful of servers hosted by one company can easily be crushed.

If you are a podcaster or musician please consider self hosting, It's not that hard to do.

Easiest way to start a Podcasting 2.0 podcast right now? Asking for a friend...

Sir Libre 11mo ago

Wow, I can't believe how many responses you have for this. Here are my 2 sats.

Here's how I do it.

I host my own RSS feeds and MP3s on my own digitalocean server.

I create my feeds with sovereignfeeds.com (SF)

You already have a lightning wallet so plugging that info into SF is a breeze.

I have over 30 podcasting 2.0 feeds. If you have any questions is be happy to help you.

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?

Sir Libre 11mo ago

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.

I appreciate you pointing this out. It does seem to solve the polling problem.

But it seems to me that NOSTR also solves this problem, but does so in a much more elegant way, with a turnaround time of updates to distribution potentially being measured in milliseconds. Not only that, but the content IS the message.

Plus, I like the idea that the NOSTR protocol carries all the things that I want timely updates on. I would like to have a feed that can handle articles, podcast episodes, comments on all of the above, and all the menagerie of note kinds that I have yet to explore, using a single protocol, so I don't need to mix and match betweeen them. Obviously, if there is a superior protocol for a particular kind of content, I wouldn't hobble utility to have uniformity, but it would be nice to minimize the number of integrations, accounts, and book keeping required to both publish and consume such content.

Have you personally used the Podping stack to publish stuff? I'm curious to hear your experience with it.

Sir Libre 11mo ago

I use podping everytime I publish a new episode of Lightning Thrashes and when I do live shows every Sat to signal it's statuses (pending, live, ended) to podcast apps like Fountain, Curiocaster, PodcastGuru, etc.

I also use it whenever I publish or update an RSS feed. (I've got about 30ish so far)

I don't have much of a dog in the hunt re: nostr vs RSS. I tend to prefer the way the current RSS ecosystem works, but I have no problem with other solutions being developed and tried.

My biggest concern is openness, scalability and interoperability. So far RSS has been rock solid for over 20 years.

I invite you to learn more about podcasting 2.0 and the amazing innovations that have been made over the past several years.

I am glad to have a reasonable conversation.

I agree that the file format is not a problem. It successfully conveys the information we need. And indeed, it could be copied to multiple places, signed, etc.

My point is that the same job can be done in a much better way if it were #NOSTRNative. One aspect is that RSS is a polling process where the file is downloaded at a regular interval and scanned for new contents. This paradigm is inverted by nostr, where an event can be published when there is new content, eliminating the wasteful traffic spent polling.

You are right that relays still depend on domain names and servers. I just think that NOSTR will offer a better pathway to substrate independence and uncensorability.

The pathway to a better version of what RSS is trying to accomplish will be found in using NOSTR directly, rather than reimplmenting some kind of identity and auth scheme for RSS.

My guess is that most of the blogs and podcasts I follow will one day originate as NOSTR notes and get syndicated into RSS feeds by services offering such. I am working on just such a service myself. I don't want someone like you to have to choose. I want the content to be addressable in whatever format you prefer.

"The core ideas of nostr offers redundancy and identity, both of which can be adopted into the RSS feed. "

In this we are in close agreement. And thank you for your reasoned response.

Sir Libre 11mo ago

Polling in RSS is no longer necessary due to podping which works fantastically.
