Music

We need a protocol similar to Farcaster that can serve as home for all the new music being produced worldwide. Imagine all the cool music clients that devs could build. Seems like the only way to truly break free from the monopolistic control exercised by Spotify, YouTube, Apple, and major record labels.

This feels like a solution searching for a problem. I feel like this has been solved. What am I missing. The way to break free is to stop renting music. Buy it in digital or physical form. It’s yours. You can rip it, share it, burn it or whatever.

What do you mean by “closed ecosystems” though? The industry isn’t fragmented. It’s consolidated. Artists want to get paid. Fans want to be able to listen to the world’s recorded music without having to think about what app to open to hear it. What does a solution look like to you?

As long as digital music remains confined within closed ecosystems, the industry will continue to be fragmented, placing smaller artists at a perpetual disadvantage. Simply purchasing digital music does not address this issue. The ppl demand a unified streaming platform.
