Farcaster

Thinking about how Farcaster could eventually become a music streaming protocol...

Imagine if the metadata about a song could be represented in a message, and listens would be another type of message. Clients could opt-in to support them.

What do you mean by music streaming protocol?

How would music coexisting with text casts?

Couldn't music just be embedded in a cast such as images, frames, etc.?

The open web is dead, long live the open web. ⌐◨-◨

Building /warpcast and /farcaster

This could be achieved several ways.
The closest to what current FC clients support would be to use OG tags on an HTML page with the audio metadata.
I prefer schema.org over OG tags since that is compatible with search engines too.
My preference is audio NFTs with the metadata being part of the NFT's attributes.

Yea embedded audio URL that clients can build a UX around, but the URL would have additional data associated with it that streaming services expose (ex: writers, label, release date, etc). Whenever a play happens, a message would be published pointing back to the song for attribution.
