That is very true, there is no space for the fans of the music to get all the value they would want. Excellent point, none of those services catered to the fan, I was a bunch of musicians trying to earn extra income.

Striking a deal like that would make sense as it would bring the best of music streaming to a blog/social media. But even the simple integration of say a soundcloud or tidal that is able to be played and paid from a blogging site that it seems highly integrated could work withou even a partnership. Right now the tribes can't even play a soundcloud, apple music or Spotify embed. Really bareboned. It would be cool if the tribes and even communities had plugins that could be installed with he click of a button.

Viberate seems interesting. https://www.viberate.com/
I even found myself there, also with another artiste with a similar name.😄 Have to dive deeper into it.
The thing with HIVE is many are still scared of decentralization, they want to be in control, but the narrative is changing though.

You think people at HIVE are scared for decentralisation? Can't be the devs :)

What I see is that the devs are not interested to create professional services, and they seem to have a hard time to work along with none-tech people with good ideas and network to make things happen, like a blockchain based music platform with own content and the soundcloud frontend embedded to create a service that can actually be interesting for the music fan. I'm still puzzeled by the fact that some of our devs and witnesses who launched a tribe with own token, are not open to suggestions, or don't understand their service needs to be further developed to be attracive for whatever market they initially launched the tribe. A got responses like: edje if I would have to develop your idea, it'll gonna costs me at least 10 to 20k US$. No response when I suggested ways of getting such money on the table (let alone these guys didn't float all the tokens they setup to the market). Sure, some exceptions to the rule :)

Viberate: They initially launched with the community uploading content to the database. Along the way they started to integrate with exisitng event databases. They also have created a few different apps. The guy who started this service was a club owner of the biggest club in whole of Europe, Ambassada Gavioli in Izola. He got the support of a few electonic artists to promote the service and provide input for the servive design, such as Umek. Super professional approach which I would like to see at HIVE. None of our home-projects is handling it like Viberate did. A shame though their token is not valued a lot.

Not the devs but people outside like the platform you mentioned.

That is true, it may be hard to work with non tech people as what we imagine may be very technical behind the scenes. I hope eventually there will be some focus on the tribe/community feature. But then it seems like the communities maybe be the focus and the ones getting Smart media tokens, who knows but businesses looking to transfer from the old to the new will wont their own website and a pool of tools they can plug in like leggo. I guess it is early days yet though.

Viberate sounds interesting. Club owners know what fans want. Ok, there is a token too. Didn't realize that.

Just saw a new audio streaming blockchain platform in a trading group, apparently about to pump massively 😆 called https://audius.co/
lets see of they cater to the fan

Audius: Some of our users at HIVE already using Audius. Last week downloaded the desktop app, but still need to install it.

Viberate: Indeed, they launched a token back in 2017. They used it to award content contributors. Back then, everybody could provide information. That caused to much spam resulting in too much work for the Viberate moderation team. Since then they still reward content contributors, but one first need to be quialified to become one. Since 2017, Viberate also integrated with a set of 3rd party services/databases, pulling event and artists content. VIB token is a Ethereum token btw.
