Audius - Empowering Creators
audius.co
Audius is a music streaming and sharing platform that puts power back into the hands of content creators.

It seems to be open source: https://github.com/AudiusProject/audius-client

Edit:

Mmm. Basically they’re a soundcloud/spotify platform based in a blockchain protocol in terms of monetization, that’s it. Only their client (Another React app) and protocol (ethereum) are open source (Apache License 2.0) the rest is the same: Another privative/centralized music platform with DRM.

At the moment the only real federated/decentralized music platform is Funkwhale. Or Jamendo which is centralized but all its content is under Libre/Free copyright licenses like Creative Commons.

    Tried audius. Looks alright. Price/token wise, it’s clearly over-hyped and over-priced.

    That said, I love finding new web3 alternatives to those apps of yester-year…

    Soundcloud - Audius
    Google search - Presearch
    Dropbox - IPFS/filecoin
    Youtube - Lbry/Odysee or Dtube
    … the list goes on

      lmao nextcloud is a dropbox alternative. IPFS/filecoin isn’t. How are these two similar? Like they aren’t similar at all

        on the left = current web2 systems

        on the right = future web3 disruptors

        Nextcloud and dropbox are both web2 insofar as they can only run on someone’s server. IPFS has the potential to provide layer 2 solutions that completely decentralize file storage and empower users (data no longer belongs to whoever owns the server).
