Considering folks here have managed to create alternatives to music streaming sites, Bandcamp and YouTube, is anyone out there working on an alternative to this? https://mendeddrum.org/@DJDarren/112517284912521082

@hirad Yes. I didn’t know you could upload radio shows to it though?

@hirad Ooh, that’s interesting. Thanks! 👀 @DJDarren

FYI no streaming service pays more than US $0.01 per stream. And that’s at the very top end, with a premium paying customer in a premium market.

I found this article explaining how streams are calculated helpful:
https://soundcharts.com/blog/music-streaming-rates-payouts
Lots of variables like country, service tier, content pool & user engagement factor in, making the "average" per stream unpredictable.

Tidal & Qobuz pay more per stream b/c they have less streams overall--making every stream more valuable. 1/

@KydiaMusic I discovered yesterday that there is a whole Wikipedia page dedicated to the subject (although there’s definitely more that could be added). 😬 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Spotify

I've asked this before and don't think there was as much up and running at that point, but are there any great existing #PeerTube platforms for hosting #MusicVideos (and related puppet vids) that also give the option to embed privately or "unlisted"?

I currently pay a Vimeo subscription to have no ads and privacy settings on certain playlists, but I'd prefer to put those funds into more recording time and the videos themselves. Any suggestions? 🙃 #FediMusic #Musodon #DIYMusic #Music #Musician

That said, I wouldn't mind contributing to a instance that was for and if one was set up.

@LucaManciniDrummer Hello! Yes, that's one thing I'd like to do (having space to upload larger videos and no ad presence are other factors and I pay to do that through Vimeo currently), but I'm just at a loss with what instance to join and wondered if there was an existing community of Fediverse folks already on there that I might've missed? I still have YouTube and don't mind using that for a lot of things, but for private/unlisted stuff and specific videos, the ads are kind of intrusive.

RobertaFidora,
@RobertaFidora@mastodon.social avatar

@LucaManciniDrummer No worries, I didn't explain it too well! Yes, that's a good summary of what I'm trying to do. For instance, I share some vids with a small group of people on my site (both music vids and longer "episodes" of things) and it would be good if I could do some of that outside of YouTube infrastructure. This has just popped up from @freebliss and looks like it be onto something (as long as there is an upload guide for dummies like myself). 🙃 https://simonrepp.com/hyper8/

@axwax But nowhere near enough for the article - we need to see more!

@axwax I love the bench chatters! Maybe if enough folks contribute some scarecrow pics, we could make a bot that posts amazing scarecrow festival pictures. 😂

@RobertaFidora@mastodon.social avatar

@axwax Yes, I’ll have to find out when the island one is, so I can photograph more bizarre delights like these…

A farmer and churchgoer scarecrow, sat on a school chair, showing off his knitted produce and Noel Edmunds-inspired face.
Super Mario Bros in scarecrow form. They’ve obviously been there a while because they look very fed up and Luigi is having a sit down. More bunting looms overhead.

I know I've shared this before elsewhere, but I dream of owning a Morse Electrophonic. #Disco #Retro #OldTech #Electronics #Vintage #Kitsch #Music

A complete shot of a Morse Electrophonic, a retro-futuristic stereo console that looks slightly like a drinks cabinet and features disco lights and a mirrorball in the centre, with desirable wood cladding. The shape resembles an arcade cabinet from the 70s, or an old Moog thing.
