This was a great episode if you want to get a pulse on where decentralized music is now and where it's going.
The Doerfels family are very talent musicians, running nodes, self hosting, live streaming from their home studio and doing these kind of interviews.
Love the format too of mixing in songs with the interview.

Some people don't have a cassette player still, or maybe never had one, or forgot how to use one! No worries, I got you.
I made a cassette emulator on my website. Complete with authentic sounds and interface. Enjoy.
If your cassette deck is screaming at you or making an odd sound, really scrub those pinch rollers. Most people think the tape is pulled from the rotating sprockets -- it's not. The capstan and the pinch rollers pull the tape at a (somewhat) constant speed.
You gotta get in there and really scrub those rollers. The heads will also collect rust of course, but I see a lot of neglected rollers.

This entire article is excellent. Technology can often become an ouroboros -- self eating snake. I've heard now multiple people complain about AI slop on wavlake. It's even a bigger problem on spotify too.
Everyone wants to solve music discovery with some new platform or protocol. What we need is word of mouth by humans.

This happens too in ham radio so I'm used to this kind of user experience. I will be using one radio and it works fine and pick up another and all my settings are gone.
