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.

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.

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?

Any solution needs to have the world’s recorded music. And most of it, at least at this point, needs to be licensed. And that is why you cannot be a startup trying to create a streaming service.

I don't believe this is true. Older music can stay on the old infrastructure, but there is no set rule that says that all new music can't eventually live on a new platform. If Twitter should have been an open protocol from the start, what makes Spotify, Apple, and YouTube so different?
