We recently joined the Steem blockchain with our record label to share most of our discography in a decentralized fashion. Already in our few days here we have heard back from Steemians telling us our uploads on @dsound wont play back for them!🤔
After verifying this ourselves we decided to start uploading our tracks to @dtube as well... And so far everything seems to work fine on the DTube platform for us. All of our previous uploads on there are still playing back just fine 🤩
Since Youtube is still considered a music streaming website by many of its users, I guess the same might become true for DTube. We atleast wont continue trying to post through them (DSound) forever when other alternatives like Dtube seem to work for us. 🤠
Some of our main members like @xtetrahedron have been trying to use the DSound platform for around 1 year now without it ever working like expected for anything other then with very small mp3 files; like a single track or a preview. Playback of anything has also always been buggy for him on the platform 😕
Wow, thanks for that feedback. Yap alright, it's off to trying dtube once more and having a look at the other laternatives emerging, thanks again this really helped
I would be interested in building a new interface for music uploads on the Steem blockchain if I got the right people along with me on the project. @dsound seems dead to me, sorry to say @prc... 😶
are you familiar with https://choon.co ?
I am not a musician but many of my favorite steemian musicians have their music on there ( too ) and it seems to work smoothly. You might like it ;>)
I already got an account there with most of my own music uploaded there. I still would like something that interfaced with the Steem blockchain & that would work properly though. Preferably a dedicated platform like DSound was supposed to be if it had worked like intended 🙄
I'm afraid I have no technical competencies. That said, I mused that whenever EOS is first ready with its decentralized storage system that would be a prime candidate to found such a network, built on EOS.
Heck I would even stake tokens just to be able to have my decentralized availability of my media. Excited to see where this is going, I willd efinitely keep an eye out for your progress <3 The space really needs it
There is also a tiny bit of hope for the next Steemit updates. Once smart media tokens become a thing I have a hard time seeing how these services can remain unreliable.
I also believe smt's might shake up things a bit on the Steem blockchain.
