@deadsuperhero @radiofreefedi I lost count of the number of songs of mine I submitted and of the number of unbelievable musicians I discovered, but as a listener, what I loved above all, was the eclectism of the programming. It’s such a rare and overlooked and undervalued thing, bringing so many different genres under one roof.
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] Agreed! I have an extensive list of songs and artists I've discovered and enjoyed.
I'm picking up The Indie Beat FM as a possible successor project, as it lets Bandwagon artists opt-in to share their music on the radio. It won't ever be RFF, but it's nice to see some kind of community music radio!
-
@deadsuperhero Have you heard from @scy and his project of a database of the music from @radiofreefedi ?
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Nope, this is news to me! Would love to know more - my phone contains a vast amount of screenshots of songs, and I'd love to be able to look up the remaining entries!
-
It's really sad about it closing down, but so great to hear you're documenting this

RFF was an absolute delight: a way of connecting with other fedizens just by starting the stream, and experiencing a wealth of wonderful, mostly permissively-licensed, music.
It was pretty much all I listened to while working for the last year and whatever, and I’m genuinely going to miss it.

@neil @deadsuperhero I'm sad about RFF going away, but excited to see what comes next from folks like Bandwagon and The Indie Beat @service and @streamer

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Same! There's some real promise of building something that's a lot more ad-hoc, capable of pulling and pushing music to and from multiple places.
I would really love to see @[email protected] adopt the API that @[email protected] developed.
-
@deadsuperhero @service @andypiper @neil @benpate @funkwhale Yup, we are working together with them for Loops!
Really exciting stuff happening

Yes. Me too! Open APIs for the win!
One interesting thought about this kind of Federation is that it’s “ActivityPub adjacent”. We’re using ActovityStreams vocabulary without the extra overhead of ActovityPub, HTTP signatures, and the rest. Picking the right tools for the job makes the task mush lighter
