[JOUR 7/21] Mes albums viennent tout juste d'arriver sur #Bandwagon ! https://bandwagon.fm/@Desmu

C'est une plate-forme compatible ActivityPub (donc on peut voir mon compte depuis ici @[email protected] ), et il y a des chances pour que mes morceaux apparaissent sur la Indie Beat Radio https://theindiebeat.fm/ qui a récemment rempli ma waitlist d'artistes desquels faudrait que j'écoute le taff.

So, we are coming up to the last 30 minutes of #BandcampFriday. Thank you to everyone who perhaps bought something, or listened to a new independent artist for the first time. The seed has been planted! #Bandwagon.fm, #Jam.Coop, and #Mirlo.Space are just some of the other platforms where you can find more independent music artists. For those who love the music, but don't have the bucks #getmusic.fm is worth a visit. Support independent music!

I'm so excited for this next year on the #Fediverse.

And the more I learn, the more I think #BridgyFed is going to become a foundational part of our network.

I just posted my first messages from #Emissary across Bridgy to my account on BlueSky.

I still have some things to fix (on my end, not theirs) but it worked.

IT WORKED.

NGL, I feel a little like Morpheus right now. And just think of what it will mean for every account set up on #Bandwagon...

The Fairplayer Story by Carles Barrobés

2025-07: A musician and a software engineer walk into a bar…

This could be the beginning of a joke, but it’s kind of the origin story of Fairplayer (@fairplayer). Every collective story is a collection of interweaved personal stories, and this is mine.

The musician is Guillem (@blankfosk) and the developer is me, Carles (@txels). The scene is the Guinardó neighbourhood in Barcelona, Catalunya. The conversation focuses on an upcoming boycott to “the streaming platform that must not be named”, boycott that is gathering momentum. Musicians from the local scene are seriously enraged, and want out. Quickly. The genocide in Palestine is on everyone’s minds.

Out of the “S” platform, but where to? We talk about what alternatives are there that won’t end up becoming the same type of extractive enshittified platform. Because we are dreamers from the world of free software and mutual aid, we know there can be alternatives. Guillem is part of a creative collective (anartist.org) that is already on Funkwhale… but he feels Funkwhale is not particularly usable, from the point of view of the listener’s user experience. He suggests exploring creating a “Funkwhale theme” focused on simplicity. I suggest “what about a player that is just a client for the Funkwhale API?”.

After that chat we get all pumped. Guillem starts creating some designs in Penpot. He is on fire. I guess he’s not sleeping much from excitement and working on this. I tell him I am going on vacation, we’ll catch up in September.

2025-09: Let’s get started

Back from vacation, recharged and ready to start. We iterate on the concept of decentralisation. We decide that the platform should not be tied to Funkwhale alone, rather a more universal “play music from a decentralised ecosystem” – multiple music “catalogs” that are indexed by a player that acts as a “hub”. We build a simplistic proof of concept catalog (just to have some initial way to upload music), and we start working on the player.

We don’t have a name yet. We think we are facilitating an “Exodus” from one platform, so we name those first components the “Exocatalog” and “Exoplayer”. (I’m really glad we didn’t stick with that name. We shouldn’t define ourselves by what we are against, rather what we are for.)

Mid-September we start talking about this cool tool that musicians use to set up their websites called Faircamp. A friend of Guillem’s (Marcel) has helped him set one up for his small indy label – Radi Solar. We think Faircamp is a great candidate for a decentralised catalog component, and we feel we can offer added value to Faircamp users.

By this time we think the concept of decentralised catalogs could include our own catalog, Faircamp, Funkwhale, and potentially Mirlo and Bandwagon. We are quickly learning about all the exciting things going on in the independent digital music ecosystem – it’s buzzing with activity.

…meanwhile, in a parallel space

While I’m working on tech, Guillem, Marcel and other friends at Anartist have been discussing the intersection of politics and music. How to organise and transform the ecosystem beyond a tool. These concerns had been macerating for a while within @anartist.

2025-10: We have a name

It feels like we made a good decision going for Faircamp as a starting point. It has a community of users that really love the tool and believe in self-hosting their music. And Simon Repp (@freebliss), the Faircamp developer, is a fantastic human being.

We start using the name “Fairplayer” (you may at this point realise where we got inspiration from) and manage to register some domains, including fairplayer.band.

In parallel, things are moving (slowly but surely) in the activism space (led by a group we call La instrumental, which has the same two meanings as in English, because we like puns), with the idea of organising as a cooperative. Temptative name “Mistu” (which sounds like the catalan name for “match” as in the small thing that you can strike to make fire).

We know that it could take a long time for the local musicians collective action to get organised, but we can start experimenting with tech in parallel, to show what is possible, to open up scenarios. And organised collective action can be hard, and may eventually fail… so in the worst case, if that mobilisation doesn’t prosper, at least we can leave a legacy that Faircamp users can benefit from.

In the meantime, Guillem the big motivator is getting a bunch of people eager to join Fairplayer. We will make a presentation of what we have done so far and where we think this could go.

2025-11: The team grows

First encounter with new people interested in participating: Sofi, Macià, Juan Diego aka Tlayoyo, Vera, Victor… I may forget some. For the first time I realise this will be nothing like than my previous typical “activist software” experiences, mostly solo or duo endeavours. I panic. The codebase is not ready. I am not ready. But it is the good kind of panic, like when you’re slowly getting to the top of a rollercoaster.

The new people will bring diverse skills and perspectives to Fairplayer: UX, design, community outreach, management/organising skills… Suddenly I’m a part of something bigger, that will soon become part of something even bigger.

2026-02: “First Movement” – the soft local launch

Getting ready for the big reveal. “La instrumental” has organised a full-day session to present the big ideas to a large group of artists, by the name “Primer Moviment” (catalan for “First Movement” – musical puns strike again). There will be a few panels where various cooperatives will talk about their experience, and we’ll demo Fairplayer. The goal is to make it tangible to the artists that we can own our destiny, govern ourselves cooperatively, create our own tools, and not be at the mercy of capitalist monopolies.

The build up has been stressful for us at the product team. Misaligned ambitions and expectations, last minute changes… but we have a working product, where people can self-signup to, and add their Faircamps to the player. The team is tingling with anticipation.

The day unfolds and it feels like a big success. The audience engages, there is a great positive energy in the room. We have opened up the collective imagination, we now have more people who believes it is possible. We are not that crazy after all. Or at least we are not alone in our crazy.

The outcomes: there seems to be enough interest in creating a listeners cooperative, and we think it is possible to do this with our own and existing free software tools.

2026-03 – The Fediverse launch

I had been looking forward to this for quite some weeks, and the day has finally come. The public announcement of Fairplayer to the Fediverse (where a number of Faircamp users seem to hang out), and general availability signup.

Post by @[email protected] View on Mastodon

Up to now, we had been reaching out to individual Faircamp musicians we thought would be receptive to the idea, and had found a few early adopters, as well as skeptics and non-responders. Among the early adopters the reception had been good, the feedback was encouraging, although they were very few, and I wasn’t sure how representative they could be.

I would like to take this opportunity to give heartfelt thanks to @helenbellmusic @kidlightbulbs and @james for the email exchanges and chats, and being receptive to a random dude from the interwebs emailing them about “yet another independent music platform”. They were the first people outside of our “inner circle of local artists” to join Fairplayer.

Also thanks to the great efforts of @sofisoft reaching out to local bands and labels and helping them get into Fairplayer via our Faircamp install parties. Sofi is probably responsible for getting half of the current artists in Fairplayer. We love you Sofi.

2026-04 – finally, fairplayer.org

So… in the rush to ship something that people could start using, we knew we had taken some shortcuts. One of those shortcuts was having a site that explained the project… this had been long planned and slowly in the making (due to the perennial lack of hands of volunteer projects), but we launched at last! fairplayer.org is live.

It’s still a work in progress (as these things always are), but it starts to show more of the picture.

And meanwhile Mistu, the listeners cooperative, is in the womb, getting ready to be born, nurtured by a growing group of people. Labour expected sometime after the summer.

Enough origin, what is the destination story?

There is something about the fascination with origin stories, in particular for tech companies (and possibly in the anglosaxon culture), that makes me cringe a bit.

A couple dudes (they are always dudes) in a garage or uni dorm (because they have the privilege to afford either of those) in a first world country (close to finance capital, another privilege) work on something that becomes a world success. Purely based on “their own merits”.

But to me, much more important than the origin story, is the destination story. The fact that those companies with romanticized beginnings ended up as horror movies: monopolistic giants that invade their users’ privacy, exploit the content that users created without rewarding their authors, and invariably follow the enshittification path that every capitalist-funded company ends up trodding: achieve market domination, use that to squeeze as much value as possible out of producers and consumers… we’ve seen that too often.

So, what is the destination story of Fairplayer? What is the future we want to create?

The short term reality: diverge to converge

We’ve come to an interesting point, that we had somehow anticipated. We now have shipped something of value which we call “Fairplayer for Faircamp”, and in the meantime the local “listener’s cooperative” Mistu is starting to take shape.

We know that short term the “Fairplayer for Mistu” and “next steps for Fairplayer.band beyond Faircamp” will have different priorities, so they may eventually be handled as separate projects in the short run, feeding from different needs and desires.

…diverge

What is “Fairplayer for Mistu” aka “local-first” Fairplayer?

• Built with and for the local community,
• It will probably prioritise tools to promote the local scene, bands near you, concerts and other events “in meatspace”, to de-virtualize music
• Much of the outreach and participation will be via local events near Barcelona

What is “Fairplayer in the larger independent digital music ecosystem”, aka “streaming-first” Fairplayer?

• Built as part of a system of like-minded projects (starting with Mirlo)
• Create a communication channel with artists that are contributing to the platform via their Faircamp sites so they can be more involved in the future of Fairplayer
• Focus on interoperability formats and protocols
• Double down on “what does it take to create a resilient decentralised platform”, e.g. by supporting Faircamp owners with monitoring/alerts, finding ways to compensate hosting expenses…
• Most of the outreach will happen in the Fediverse

I imagine these two collectives will have different needs, so we will most likely be running two separate instances, based on the same software although they may have different sets of outward-facing functionality.

…converge

BUT… eventually both efforts should reinfoce each other, and at some point we have a Fairplayer platform that:

• A community of place, purpose or passion can self-host and run
• Allows uniting around a scene, which can be a locality (Barcelona), a genre (reggae), or a shared purpose (creative commons music, archival material for folklore preservation…).
• Each community can decide the rules of governance, compensation, participation…
• You can connect the player to your sources of music (the catalogs) which can be different technologies, running on domains you own (individually or collectively)
• Multiple Fairplayer instances, each run by their community, agree to share content, and have mutual understanding for cross-compensation

The mycellial network of independent music platforms

This is where we come back to where we started, but with a much better knowledge of what’s out there, and some friends we’ve made along the way. When we say we want to facilitate a decentralised music ecosystem, what is it really the role we see ourselves playing among the Faircamps / Mirlos / Funkwhales / Bandwagons and other song creatures of the digital?

First and foremost I would love for Fairplayer to be the glue, the mycellium, the connective tissue that makes it possible that various systems work together, even those that were designed to work in isolation like Faircamp.

Because Fairplayer is a hub, an index, that wants to learn how to talk to different platforms, and wants to define the protocols that make that possible. It can thus become the missing integration point across diverse projects. Those projects may not have the capacity to talk to each other, but if Fairplayer can read and Fairplayer can (re)share those contents, and provide some compensation layer, then even a simple self-managed static website can become a piece in a large music ecosystem that one can be proud to be a part of.

A resilient ecosystem that no capitalist can buy.

A summary of our values

As we start putting our values in writing, this is our working draft summary of what we stand for:

• Collective ownership beats client-provider relationships: participatory, constructive, optimistic.
• People centric beats tech-centric.
• Cooperation beats competition: free software, free and universal culture.
• Inclusivity beats uniformity: simple, diverse and for all audiences.
• Community beats individualism: mutual aid, attentive to already existing (local) collectives.
• Decentralisation beats centralisation: a federated, local blueprint that can be universally replicated.
• Sustainability beats accelerationism: inspired by degrowth, rooted in slow rhythms and emotions.

Imagine if a fediverse profile had an option to add a standard license statement. One that could be linked in works posted elsewhere, to indicate;

* what the license is; CC, CC0/Public Domain, ARR, something else

* how to contact the creator about it

* how the creator likes to get attribution, including for quoting and other Fair Use

There could be a standard way of doing this, used in @peertube, @funkwhale, #BandWagon, etc

Had a fun idea tonight to add generative AI policy markers to the music platforms in #unstream search results

Shield = generative AI music banned
Flag = the platform detects & flags AI music

Deploying in a few minutes

@benpate @sknob Ooh, this is cool!

In @moshidon, Ben's post with the link to About Time displays like a Quote Post. Under the bandwagon.fm link is a preview card with a play button. When I click it the song plays. Fine and dandy.

But what really got me hopping is that it *kept playing* as I moved around in the app, writing this reply! Navigating away from the post didn't cut off the playback.

This is great UX. I presume @mirlo devs are aiming to do the same?

@benpate @rick "My first app on this platform is a music sharing server for indie bands, called #Bandwagon. And now I'm also working on #Atlas, a social mapping server for adding Federated annotations to places in the real world."
this you?

How do you download music from #bandwagon ? I get that some of it is purchasable or has a more restrictive license, and you don't want people downloading that willy nilly. But, a lot of it is public domain/creative commons/etc. I could not for the life of me figure out how to download any of those

#Bandwagon just got a little better today, thanks to a great suggestion from @strypey

The player now connects more tightly to your laptop, phone, or even bluetooth speaker.. so that all your hardware media control buttons (like play/pause/skip) now work inside the album you're playing on Bandwagon.

That's enough for today, but there's more in the works coming soon.

And let me know: what do YOU need to make Bandwagon better?

I put it up on #faircamp & #bandwagon a day early, but have now also supplied #bandcamp https://dragginganox.bandcamp.com/album/whole-earth-cataloged

Hello #fediverse have a nice #MusiciansDay

We are a 4 piece (banjo, guitar, double bass and drums) #americana / #altcountry band from 's-Hertogenbosch 🇳🇱

Bands that influence us are 16 Horsepower, Slim Cessna's Auto Club, Firewater and many more.

You can listen to our 12 track debut album "The Misery Stains" on #BandWagon https://bandwagon.fm/668c277f7af2d40234b2f9d0 and @mirlo : https://mirlo.space/moonshine-brigade/release/the-misery-stains

We like to participate in the #TuneTuesday and #ThursdayFiveList hashtags, please join us 😃

#introduction

Just discovered https://unstream.stream/ through https://the.socialmusic.network/ , am I late to the party? :D

From the website: "Find your favorite music on alternative platforms, directly support the artists you love, and move off streaming."

Quite cool, the results seem to be somewhat comprehensive, including Bandwagon and Faircamp!

Okay, a couple of fun things I'm working on for #unstream right now:

- true artist pages & a process to claim them
- artist page customization - curate your platform links, add a bio, add a featured release
- embeds
- a simple directory of verified indie artists

#fairtrademusic #indiemusic #faircamp #bandcamp #mirlo #bandwagon

Searching for AxWax on #Unstream identifies as least 4 non-corporate services where their music is available, including their own FairCamp site, which is impressive.

https://unstream.stream/?q=axwax

More of this please!

Maybe in the short term we could develop a music publishing app that ships a new release to multiple services?

But long term, I'd like to see them all do what #BandWagon is doing, and federate with each other over ActivityPub. So artists can publish on 1 and appear on them all.

@benpate
Cheers for the response, Ben. I don't have any music to host, so in that sense I'm not necessarily interested. Sorry! 😅

When I issued my request to #WebScrobbler to support scrobbling plays from #Bandwagon I simply mentioned that it may need an implementation that can detect from Bandwagon on bandwagon.fm and other servers. And they asked me for an example of an other server.

But if there is no other server running Bandwagon for now, I'll let them know.

Regardless of my original question: thanks for the nice work on Bandwagon. 👌

I see on bandwagon.fm the mention "Anyone can run their own Bandwagon server and share their music on a site they control. This server (Bandwagon.fm) is the flagship domain for the Bandwagon project; the first of many that we hope will join us in the near future."

So far I've only seen posts of music on bandwagon.fm instead of music on someone own's server with the bandwagon protocol. Does anyone have a link to bandwagon music that is not on bandwagon.fm itself?

This concerns this github issue to get #Bandwagon music scrobbled by #WebScrobbler:
https://github.com/web-scrobbler/web-scrobbler/issues/5827

@benpate , maybe you have examples, since Bandwagon is your app?

(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?

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 ?

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 ?

I took notice when #bandwagon (at https://bandwagon.fm) announced in early 2025 that they would integrated with #TheIndieBeat and allow artists to check a box when uploading music that would distribute the music to the radio station for airplay! How cool is that? Federation for the win!

As always, please boost!

This year, I downloaded (and uploaded), and listened a lot to a couple of albums. 3rd year of NOT missing Spotify.

In exchange to the universe, I bought some vinyl of local bands, went to a number concerts, and played and published some decent music myself with a public domain license. (#AlanisMorissatte is really cool, forgot a bit about her)

By the way: Yay to #bandwagon https://bandwagon.fm and #funkwhale https://www.funkwhale.audio/

I'm curious what people in the fediverse space think about other decentralization technologies like the LBRY protocol, Odysee, etc, particularly as it pertains to making music . What advantages does the architecture of activitypub have over the blockchain? #fediverse #fediversemusic #lbry #bandwagon @benpate @mizkirsten @RobertaFidora @nham

Hello, fedi user!

I have something to listen to for you.

Vinegar is the third song from my new EP Bolden Dreams

I Imagine a bug crawling between lots of forest critter. The little excursions they'll do on their tiny paths form the melodic motion in this track. Therefore, it is a #mosstodon one. At least in my mind.

What do you think?

I nearly forgot: there's a fabulous new @axwax release out, featuring a glittering array of Fediverse electronic music stars including @socool , @skysonix and many others.

It may, or may not, be #BonkWave but it definitely is #ClonkWave !!
