Someone posted a suggestion for music streaming: Base it on time listened not plays. 🤔 Should a 3-minute song get the same amount of royalties as a 10-minute track?

I've been thinking about music streaming, and if you could change one thing about music streaming services, what would it be?

Last week was interesting! 😅 I promised to run a 10-hour music stream for the Ubuntu Summit. Had to figure out how to stream 8-hours of Creative Commons music, pull audio from an Icecast server, AND display real-time artist attribution (after a plugin didn't work!). See how a script saved the day in my new vlog:

How I managed to put together a 10-Hour Creative Commons Music Stream

Here's the story of how I pulled it off—from a casual suggestion to a working stream—and the open-source tools that made it possible.

What does it take to throw an online music event? I think I'm going to try and find out 🤔
