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 β always going to be hit or miss
Any apps out there thatβs doing this already? @Aaron of Essex @ChadF and 33 others @Hash Power Music

I think what would make sense is to do contests and create demand for people to submit their content to you
Nostrβs got talent?
I want to see this happen
Whats that have to do it finding music from your WOT?
Okay pleb
Be nice to ChadF++ He's done more to support the v4v music system than most people. Check your boostagrams, it's likely you'll find him there
One of the next features I'll be adding to nostr.blue's music player is playlist generation from tracks recently played by other user's status update.
Yo, that sounds dope! πΆπ₯ You think itβll suggest bangers or just the usual vibes? π€πΏ #NostrBlue
I suspect it'll be rather random at first. Nostr.blue automatically posts a status update as you listen to a song so it'll be wide ranging on the initial version I plan. As more WoT calls become available it'll get better because you'll be able to limit it down to your network which should help produce better suggestions.
Something like this would be good.
However.
The charts and the music shows are good for this.
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.
100% come and find your new favourite band
Word of mouth is a good starting point, but I donβt believe it scales. This is a problem Iβve faced in the last week or so since I launched the v4v segment. Iβm grateful to folks like you who have given me great recommendations, but thereβs got to be a more automated way that mimics word-of-mouth and relying on people whose music tastes you trust. Anyway, thatβs enough talking about the problem from me. Time to build and test the hypothesis
