  1. @fairplayer If I open an artist's release page on #Faircamp, #Mirlo or #Bandcamp, there is usually textual information at the bottom of the page: liner notes, recording dates, musician names, etc. — whatever the artist chose to add.

    When I look at the same release page aggregated on #Fairplayer, I just see the tracklist and nothing below it. Is there any plan to add liner notes to FairPlayer in the future?

  2. It’s worth noting that the #fairplayer and #mirlo integration isn’t a one-off thing between the two platforms - it’s the first large-scale test of the Canimus protocol! It’s been pretty successful and is what has informed the next revision of the protocol, which is now called Chorus. Want to help guide its future? Join in at github.com/PlaidWeb/Chorus

  3. I have linked my catalog of music on #Mirlo to #Fairplayer so it is now available at

    fairplayer.band/player/artist/

    I really want #Fairplayer to succeed so I can finally get away from using #Soundcloud for those who prefer to stream. In the long run I hope it will benefit all by allowing musicians to get properly paid for their work.

    Thanks to everyone at #Mirlo and #Faiplayer.

  4. In #mirlo artist profile settings...

    Turning on social web (artist profile on the fediverse)

    and

    Allowing streaming on federated players like #fairplayer (that's fairplayer.org/player/ NOT .io)

    Easy peasy - artist upload ONCE, listener play anywhere

    I hope this takes off!

  5. I am getting kinda fed up with streaming on #soundcloud. I get more engagement than on other platforms but little in return.

    I have pulled my music from other streaming platforms and considering doing so here. Have others done this?

    Anyone using #Fairplayer?

    Thanks, Sammi

  6. RE: musician.social/@mirlo/1169584

    A fascinating read from the @mirlo and @fairplayer folk here. We all talk about the need to create a fairer less passive music ecosystem, but it's another thing giving up your free time to put the work into designing it, as these folks are doing in a very optimistic way... #fedimusic #music #music #mirlo #fairplayer #fairplayer #indiemusic

  7. It wouldn't be strictly accurate to say #TIL about @fairplayer, but I still want to encourage everyone to check it out;

    "A free, decentralized music player, without opaque algorithms or ads, that can be managed democratically."

  8. RE: sonomu.club/@lislegaard/116869

    A very informative interview with @freebliss , the creator of #Faircamp , explaining why there are certain self-imposed limitations on its feature set.

    I'm a proponent of connecting / federating all the independent Faircamp pages, whereas Simon seems to appreciate their ability to stand alone. He's right to adhere to that focus. Others can build the connection layer on top — like #Fairplayer — leaving Simon more time to keep Faircamp singularly good at what it does.

  9. @fairplayer val la pena explorar com fer aquesta música disponible a l'ecosistema #fairplayer

  10. Researching the next home for my old releases on Bandcamp.

    I follow information about #Faircamp, #Fairplayer, #Mirlo, #Subvert and #Ampwall , among other #streaming and downloaded music platforms, however my knowledge is still limited. I don't have a full understanding of how each app is differentiated from the other, or which services can work together in a federated fashion.

    Would be glad for links to info which compares and contrasts all the #OpenSource and #SelfHosted options out there!

  11. Acabo de descobrir aquesta cançó a #Fairplayer amb unes harmonies vocals molt evocadores. Ningú és lliure fins que tots siguem lliures.

  12. If you know me from #Fairplayer, I have a new home for my posts in English, mostly about free software, music, the independent digital music ecosystem, etc.: @[email protected] - I will be gradually migrating that activity over the week.

  13. @audiodude @WeirdWriter

    there's a new effort to build a decentralized Spotify. the music lives on the musician's site but could be played in any app. like a podcast.

    #fairplayer #canimus

  14. @txels Ah yeah, that's great.
    One of the Bandcamp features that I liked was at least getting some idea that there might have been some plays - so yeah a #Fairplayer UI on that would be nice.

    BTW - One of the things I really like about Fairplayer is the way the tracks can be played and I can still navigate the site while listening.

    I'm still interested to hear if anyone else is doing anything - like you say Fairplayer will give part of the picture, maybe not the whole picture.

  15. @theargentgrub FWIW we started counting playback time in #Fairplayer (which you BTW joined, thanks), and we are starting to build a UI to show those to member nodes. It will only know about plays via Fairplayer of course, so that will only be a small number.

  16. It always makes me very happy when someone I've listened to on #faircamp or follow on the Fedi joins #fairplayer

    Today it was @meljoann - welcome in!

  17. Lorenzo’s Music Podcast Fedi Specials: #18 Fairplayer, Carles Barrobes - Rethinking Music Distribution for IndieArtists

  18. @fairplayer one of my discoveries has been "Greenhouses and Other Oddities on or within the Moons of Neptune"... being the second longest album name (the kind of things that stretch our UX team 😅) it got me intrigued. Nice sci-fi vibes, the album lives up to its title. Congrats @flavigula
