Is anyone working on discovery/curation of v4v music? Finding music I like for the show is turning out to be quite a challenge. Surely nostr and contextual web-of-trust fix this? The closest I found to curation is v4vmusic.com, but even that is relying on someone I don't know telling me what they think is good – always going to be hit or miss Any apps out there that’s doing this already? @Aaron of Essex @ChadF and 33 others @Hash Power Music

Word of mouth seems to be working well and I hear tons of new music from the music shows. Most of them take request too so if you hear something cool you let them know and they might play it and others will hear it. We need music apps for this stuff and that's what @Sir Libre is trying to do with v4vmusic.com. It's all the tracks from podcastindex and people can listen, share, rate, tag, boost etc. There's great music out there just waiting to be heard.
Word of mouth is a good starting point, but I don’t believe it scales. This is a problem I’ve faced in the last week or so since I launched the v4v segment. I’m grateful to folks like you who have given me great recommendations, but there’s got to be a more automated way that mimics word-of-mouth and relying on people whose music tastes you trust. Anyway, that’s enough talking about the problem from me. Time to build and test the hypothesis
