At #FediForum, @n00q discussed a Federated music service for #BandCamp refugees. After a few days of drawing up requirements and specs, and a couple days of code, something interesting is taking shape.
Here's a too-fast-tour of a hypothetical album page built with #Emissary. Custom skins, uploads, and transcoding music is still TBD, but so far this feels like magic.
Bands' profiles will be native citizens of the Fediverse to like, share, and comment. Excited yet?

in reply to Ben Pate 🤘🏻 • • •Honestly, it seems good. But what I need is bookwyrm for music.
I'm kind of disappointed that the world seems to think music services need to be creator centric, and book services need to be consumer centric.
The best is when both are served IMHO.

in reply to Jens Finkhäuser 🌻 • • •@jens have you checked out #listenbrainz or #librefm?
I remember when #lastfm removed much of its social features, and I'm still salty about it. Now it's pretty much a commercial tracker hell-hole

in reply to Jens Finkhäuser 🌻 • • •@jens This is a great suggestion. What kinds of “listener-centric” features would you need?
This whole idea is just getting started, so it’s a perfect time to affect its direction.
