I'm deep into refactoring the code today. My goal is to reconstruct all of the server side code.

So, it's back to roulette for today's coding music. It's simple: go to search, pick a hashtag (#Ambient for me, please), then play the top album in the results. They shuffle every time you reload, so there's always something new.

(2/2)

If not, what features could the developers of @funkwhale and BandWagon (@benpate) add that would allow accounts on their software to be used for release and show announcements, so you wouldn't need a second account on a micro-posting service for that?

Bandwagon.fm now has all the music I've released since 2008... Everything is under a Creative Commons License so use it as you will.

@liaizon

Everything on the table:

I should do this, but have been waiting because I *really* want to self-host the main and accounts on my own software.

Right now, Emissary is a great PUBLISHER and READER, but it does a poor job with DMs. So I couldn’t really use Emissary to support questions like this one.

It’s been on my roadmap for a while, and it’s why I’m excited to build DMs, too.

But I do plan to launch these as soon as I have a good solution for DMs.

@selfhtml

Das sind zu wenige Optionen. Wenigstens "Andere" sollte es noch geben.

Ich schreibe das hier über #Mastodon. Für meine Fotos hab ich #Pixelfed: @christof. Unser Podcast @podcast wird mit #Castopod gehostet und dazu gibt es auch noch den Mastodon-Account @cic_podcast

Weitetes kommt noch. Ich habe #Bandwagon im Blick und programmiere an was eigenem für CVs als #LinkedIn Alternative.

Sorry

You're usually my go-to for streaming background music to work to. But it's crunch time, so today's work music is 100% Mötley Crüe.

Anyone know how to reach out to Vince & gang, to get their music on a Bandwagon server?

I just uploaded Digital Busker to Bandwagon!

Hello @mizkirsten, I've been told this is where all the cool kids hang out.

@limebar and @keefmarshall are probably saying "There goes the neighbourhood!"

I wish bandwagon.fm would offer a different payment provider than stripe. »In 2011 the company received a $2 million investment, including contributions from Elon Musk, PayPal founder Peter Thiel, Irish entrepreneur Liam Casey,[12] and venture capital firms Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, and SV Angel.« #fediMusic #bandwagon

I now have all my music on bandwagon.fm!!

bandwagon.fm/@cloudskater

I'll still be releasing stuff on #Bandcamp (whenever I finish anything) but once Bandwagon has downloads and different payment processors supported, I'm kicking Bandcamp to the curb before it even has a chance to enshittify. #Bandwagon is already such an awesome music hosting platform and I'm sure it's only gonna get better. I'm so excited for it!

Is it possible to embed a player for a song or album on bandwagon.fm in a mastodon post, like it's possible for youtube and bandcamp?

or will it just looks like this:

@ozoned Late addendum to your question (sorry took a while for this constellation to align :)): "If #faircamp and #bandwagon had a fight to the death ..." ... they wouldn't!! ;) Greetings from FOSDEM!

@matthieu1030 Plusieurs oublis :
- Mirlo @mirlo
mirlo.space/
- Bandwagon.fm
bandwagon.fm/home
- Jam co-op @jamcoop
jam.coop/
Certes, ils sont moins gros, mais s'avèrent fondamentalement intéressants.

Now also available on #Bandwagon (thanks Ben!)

Wie steht es eigentlich mit der GEMA Material bei #peertube ? Beziehungsweise betrifft es ja auch Audio-Plattformen im #fediverse wie #bandwagon oder #funkwhale

Nach meinem Verständnis wäre es rechtlich so: die Betreiber:innen der Instanzen müssten GEMA-Gebühren zahlen, sobald GEMA-pflichtiges Material auf der Plattform ist. Genauer gesagt mindestens den Tarif VR-OD 10 (Video-on-Demand in geringem Umfang) für 240€ netto im Jahr.
Das Geld landet bei der GEMA im Topf und wird nach Verteilschlüssel an die Bands ausgezahlt. Verteilschlüssel heißt: Nicht nur die konkreten Urheber:innen deren Songs auf der Instanz sind, sondern alle GEMA-Mitglieder:innen profitieren. D.h. der Großteil des Geldes geht an die Grönemeyers und Taylor Swifts dieser Welt und ein paar Cents an die Indie-Bands.
Zur besseren Einordnung: GEMA-Künstler:innen haben ihre Verwertungsrechte an die GEMA abgetreten und sie können auch nicht einfach der GEMA sagen, dass bestimmte Plattformen ihre Musik lizenzfrei nutzen dürfen.

Nun die Frage: Was heißt das für uns als Label? Einfach drauf scheißen und "unsere" Bands auf @bakraufarfitatube posten? Wie sehen das die Instanz-Betreiber:innen? @elminuto ?
