I just added support for op3.dev to the site that allows you to get download numbers and other stats. Just click the toggle for it in the Album Info section to enable it when building your RSS feed. Here's the stats page for the demo album I used for this.

I'm testing some stuff out and a few plays on this would help. You dont have to listen to the whole thing but it is @The Doerfels #OP3

Fixed a bug last night that was causing the site to overwrite feeds that were hosted with me. I dont host any media but will host your RSS to help you on your self-hosting journey but ALWAYS SAVE A COPY OF THE XML FILE!! Luckily the user that was affected had a copy saved so we were able to restore it without any issue. To help prevent me messing up people's feeds in the future I now save a copy of the xml file that's hosted with me but that's more for me to be able to fix these problems myself and as a backup since this site is very new still.

Getting a split of @Joe Martin Boosting @Longy is what this is all about. 🫡

MSP 2.0 now lets you add your npub to your RSS feed via the <podcast:txt> tag. This tag allows you to add info to a RSS feed that is either for reference or if something doesn't have a formal tag.

Looks like this in my feeds. <podcast:txt purpose="npub">npub177fz5zkm87jdmf0we2nz7mm7uc2e7l64uzqrv6rvdrsg8qkrg7yqx0aaq7</podcast:txt> What the point? I dont know yet but its something I wanted to try. Its been added to this test feed of mine.

We need to build the tools before we can make them easier but easier usually means giving up some control. My goal is to make the best RSS music feed generator for people to use while trying out some other ideas along the way. We're going to break a lot of stuff along the way but that's half the fun and this stuff doesn't build itself. Thank you to the few artists making feeds and helping me test. o7

Fixed a bug in the Publisher Feeds that was causing some apps to not pick them up. You can also make video RSS feeds now that are basically the same as a music feed but its marked as video in the feed and the UI is tuned for it. This is my test Publisher Feed -

Test music feed

and a test Video Feed -

Demo Videos

Reminder to ALWAYS save your .xml file for your RSS feeds. I'm doing a lot of testing that requires me to delete my test feeds from the MSP hosted but the import .xml always brings your stuff back because that the source of trust for all of the RSS stuff.

Listening to Homegrown Hits and hearing @Matt Finlay and @Strange Love being played and knowing they used my site to make the RSS feeds is so cool. Homegrown Hits - 120

new.musicsideproject.com now lets you build Publisher Feeds. This is a tricky one to do but I think I have a nice start with it. Thanks @Matt Finlay for testing and feedback on it. I allows for cool pages like this to be built and links all of your music together.

MSP 2.0 now lets you submit or update your RSS feed in podcastindex.org. You no longer have to go to the podcastindex.org site to do it so if your hosting your feed yourself just past in the URL and hit submit or if the feed is hosted on MSP it will auto-submit it or any updates when you upload it to MSP. You are also given the link to the feed on PI. Something like this

*when you submit a feed for the first time it can take several minutes to show up in the index but once the page loads with it then your good to go. **UI for all of this needs cleaned up some but you get the idea
