Here's my dream. It's probably of the chart and i do not intend to write this as any form of expectation or judgement.
My ideal #fediverse#music services has #p2p streaming. This is to unburden my smol server from the unlikely yet secretly desired organic DDOS generated by that killer track everyone suddenly understood.
Of course, every #track is a post, with description, eventual lyrics and individual cover-art. Albums are individual posts too. They are basically digests with a bunch of tracks attached, linking to each track's independent post. They have an individual album art and description of what they represent or conceptualize.
This dream service would be entirely interoperable with #peertube. (Although i suspect this would require some sort of collaboration with peertube since i think audio only entities on peertube are in mp4 format.)
My dream service defaults to disregard the notion of me becoming some sort of recruiting agent for big tech record-distribution companies like Spatify, iFumes, etc... It can optionally be that for those who don't have the strength to stand up against the big-tech narrative, but primarily it would operate much like Faircamp does, by encouraging the audience to chip in directly on the spot with donation funnels on the site and donation links in the fedi-posts body.
My dream service leverages activitypub groups, in similar way that lemmy and peertube does. This is to allow artist with many different projects to create different "channels" representing the difference between their various ventures. This could also be used by labels to create different "channels" for different artists. Multiple users can curate one or several of these channels.
I might have more ideas coming after another cup of java. But this is my input for now. Take it as it is: a dream, by a derp. An enthusiastic and encouraging one though! What you do is great, regardless how close or far off my lil' dream it ends up being!
