Today I spent a few hours with the web designer working on Steemsongs (please follow @steemsongs).
As well as functionality to allow any artist to display their releases and charge a certain amount of SBD/Steem per release we also hope to display any posts from that artist/band that fall within the last 7 days. Your vested Steem Power will also allow you to own the music by simply up voting a determined number of a particular artists posts.
This project is designed for fun and to provide a way for people to spend their Steem and SBD without cashing out to other currencies. To that end we plan to distribute 100% of earnings back to the artists.
To help @Steemsongs monetise we will post features on artists that have uploaded music to the site. This leaves the artist free to create their own posts and sell their own music without us taking a cut.

If you are an artist or potential user please follow @steemsongs
Any thoughts or ideas please comment below.
Idea: a way to be able to upvote to own?
I DON'T know if this is a feature yet, but it would be cool if you could upvote a certain percentage according to your SP, so that way you can keep your SBD. The artist still gets paid, and the music is pretty much still as free as streaming services.
IDK just an idea.
I plan to use this service, so definitely keep me updated.
Hey cant wait for this!, been waiting for a while! :D
I know. But unlike todays culture of release and ICO immediately I'm actually trying to put thought into this.
Cool dude!, i bet it will worth the wait... Seems good so far... :)
so artists can upload albums there? I have friend who is trying to promote his albums (country music)
Yes, absolutely. But it will be part two of the roll out.
We'd certainly be interested in this happening. We already post songs to youtube/facebook and other places. Some are Creative Commons so they're already free to share and remix. :)
ok thanks, I will follow the updates
when do you expect that to happen?
You can use the #steemradio-country and #steemradio-music to promote your music!
Great initiative. I'll add a link to this new post to my next Steemit Open Mic post to get the word out. Also will Tweet it and add it to the new Steemit Musicians Facebook page and Discord channel as well as the @music-trail. Thanks for doing this project. It's a great idea!
such a cool idea!
thanks @sulev !
Very excited for this. Resteemed and ready to participate as soon as it's open.
It would be nice to have a licensing functionality so we can use the work in videos, blogs, advertisements, content, etc.
I agree but it is a much later step that will be an add on. It's not core functionality. It might even better for Steemsongs content to be represented by a third party licensing company... will think more on this.
This looks great! Can't wait to discover some new artists!
Sounds great, I wasn't expecting that when I signed up. As a songwriter, I'm definitely keen to participate.
Awesome! very I excited to see this come to fruition. Will users also have the option to download music?
This will be the only functionality. It is not a streaming service.
Will streaming become a part of it at some point?
No plans for that at the moment.
My band and I are really excited by this opportunity ! We are LFT you can check out our first music video @legiah Followed upvoted, see you soon on Steemsong :)
Looking very much forward to this project. So much I felt like mentioning you in my latest post :)
As a musician, I'm really excited about this :)
We are getting ready to do a wide launch of the Steemit Local Music Society on Discord, which will hopefully be the one umbrella for all things Steemit-original music content. We would love for you to be a part of our team, and could potentially accommodate your project within the server channel however you would like it accommodated, as well.
Please get in touch with me on Discord or Steemit.chat and let's talk. Big things are in the works to unify the musical communities across all genres, we have a great team of folks working on the project.
I'd love to be involved. Here's some more info on my work.

This is sick! I was just thinking that Steem will probably be the first use case for musicians earning with crypto in real-time! I am so happy to see this. I have a lot of unreleased music I'd be interested in participating. :)
Have you uploaded any of your music on Steem yet?
I can upload released music, any suggestions on how to work with Steemsongs?
No, but I followed them to keep being informed. Would you like @leelektrik to feature you in an article?
You're absolutely correct with this buddy, such a great idea and could work really well if people hear about it and et involved! :)
I think musicoin is doing something similar
@steemsongs is for the steem blockchain and for steemit users.
This is fantastic. Musicians need this service. Thank you.

Its great to see steemians doing this. Im planning on trying to promote a youtube channel on steem as well. hope this idea helps lots of people.
Hello, I dont't understand everything, but sounds great. I signed up on steem yesterday, producing music as a composer of classical music and writer of popsongs. I recently posted some stuff and would be pleased if you could upvote or even follow me @senzenfrenz So huge thanks for your support!
This is a great idea and will be helpful to smaller artists to share their music. There is so much good stuff out there that is never heard!
Excellent initiative I am in a hurry to see the result and to be able to discover artists through steem :) I follow you, good job
I'll have to check @steemsongs out! Thanks for sharing.
This is great! If we can support artists we like through the power of Steem that'd be an amazing platform
Nice job!
Upvoted, followed and re-steemed :)
Great post..thank you for the link..I will visit http://www.steemsongs.com...upvoted & followed you and @steemsongs
oh wow this is a great idea!!
I love this idea Good luck buddy : )
Great idea. Hope to see it working soon. I think the up voting and reward system on steemit is great. Is steemsongs an extension of that model?
This looks like a wonderful project! Awesome work and best of luck.
Can we add bollywood songs here and some classical Indian Music?
Of course!
Yippee!
Interesting project. Followed it
