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.

Something like this could work, with a token to access media files

Are you thinking a token would be necessary as a way of representing a streaming licensing agreement?

Yeah that was the thought, because API access to other platforms will be turned off at scale?

soundscapes

But at microscale, I can’t wait for a frame/client that turns /soundscapes and other music channels into playlists I can press ‘random’ on

i made a hack a week ago that sent signed server messages back to the Farcaster client — today servers send back unsigned arbitrary data.

all we need then is a rights registry or a token like you said, and we get permissionless playback.
