Agreed. This is why I wrote a proposal to fund musicians, and it’s also why I’m adding crowdfunding support to Communick.
I read it and it’s very similar to other monetisation proposals on the web! What surprises me is how people are misunderstanding it in that thread 🤔 It might help to work on mockups or diagrams to make it clearer (draw.io is good for this, but choose whatever tool you like). Honestly, I think if what you propose were also implemented in peertube, it would take off.
Good luck!
It has the “radio” feature, which sort of works like a smart playlist, no?
Sort of, but not quite. I make smartlists like “unrated songs”, “unrated with musicbrainz tags”, “unrated with musicbrainz tags and never played”, “songs with at least 4 stars and tagged happy, summer, electro”, “songs in playlist ‘roadtrip 2020’ or ‘beach vacay 2023’ or ‘beach vibes’ and unique artist and unique album”. My library is quite large and with these playlists it helps discover music therein or play exactly what I’m in the mood for.
Navidrome, subsonic, and a bunch of other self-hosted solutions do not provide these features, and if they do, they don’t support large libraries. Funkwhale might support large libraries (haven’t tried with mine), but it already doesn’t have smartlists, so it’s a no-go for me.
Again, good luck with the monetisation idea! I really like it.
