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.

I think there’s already a few good protocols addressing this (Zora, Sona, Sound etc.) Releasing your music onchain means you can stream and purchase on a variety of interfaces with no platform lock in including FutureTape (@fascinated) and Spinamp

Who is hosting the music though? Does it need to be on a blockchain or can it be a system like hubs?

what’s the benefits of hubs do you think?

I think Dan and V know way more than me about this, but im not leaning on either side. Maybe Farcaster will eventually switch from hubs and become it's own chain like Zora + Base. This is the interesting part imo, not whether or not there should be an open protocol for music.

tbh the relatively common ipfs approach allows multiple parties to host the media quite well, if they want to (similar to "run your own hub") cc/ @iamnick.eth

If IPFS is the best solution for storage, then we are making good progress already.

1/ IPFS is good, but not the best solution for storage. Few economic incentives exist to run IPFS nodes. For use cases requiring reliably available data, Arweave is better. For ex., many NFTs store metadata and media on IPFS via Piñata where NFT owners relinquish control of their NFTs' media to a centralized entity.

2/ Text files are lighter than music files. Thus, Farcaster nodes need less storage space than Audius nodes. Farcaster recommends nodes to have at least 20 GB of free storage; Audius recommends at least 2000 GB. The cost of running a node is different. The lower cost, the more people can run a node.

Is Audius really decentralized? I was just looking at the docs and it sounds like you can be censored on there. If an artist is uploading original music that they truly own, it should be immutable. https://help.audius.co/copyright/what-are-the-audius-copyright-policies-and-processes

1/ From a storage perspective, Audius is definitely more decentralized than any other music streaming service I know, especially the ones you mentioned like Spotify. The Audius policies protect original works from not being claimed by others. If you make music yet I upload it as "mine", that should be "censored" imo.
