I've been thinking about adding the ability to upload your music and art to blossom servers in MSP so you can use them to host your media and I'll build and host the feed for you.
I'm on the fence because I'd prefer you host the media somewhere you truly control in case the blossom server goes done (which has happened for someone using MSP) but also making it dead simple for artist to get started is tempting.
I want to be a RSS music feed creation tool for people but I also realize that easy mode could help people out.
I've also been in this V4V music space long enough to know that if you make it too easy for people they don't really learn anything and I want people to learn that they can host all there music on their own website and just use MSP to make the feed.

MSP 2.0
npub10z4f...x7l3
This is an updated version of the original MSP website by the legendary nostr:npub1yvgrrzf4dnmu30qfhw95x87ruu0g2kpv3a64h8hpvqsre8qeuspsgd6pv9.
Its a simple web form that builds a podcasting 2.0 RSS feed for your music.
site built and ran by nostr:npub177fz5zkm87jdmf0we2nz7mm7uc2e7l64uzqrv6rvdrsg8qkrg7yqx0aaq7
main url also points to the new version now so new.musicsideproject.com and musicsideproject.com both work.
I've been working on some experimental nostr features in @MSP 2.0 that may or may not ever be used so I hid them in the UI. If you go to the menu in the upper right hand corner and click "Show Experimental Features" they will now show up with a 🧪 next to them.
Hope this makes it less confusing for people. o7


If you're using @MSP 2.0 to submit or update your RSS feeds to podcast index places make sure you don't have any spaces or special characters in your feed url.
This was causing duplicate feeds in the podcast index.
If you do have a feed that needs change and you do change it let me know so I can keep an eye on it incase it needs some special attention.
Got a RSS feed and want to add it to Nostr Music? Simply signing with Nostr, import your RSS feed into MSP, click save and pick Publish to Nostr Music.


@npub12znr...6yg6 @New Music Nudge Unit @𓆩sᴇᴛᴛᴏ𓆪 @Strange Love some of you guys asked about PodPing support to let apps know you updated your feeds well I just added it to new.musicsideproject.com.
This is the first pass so I assume I'm sending the correct data but I build in production so there's only one way to find out.
There is an option in the "save" menu to send the PodPing and there is also a button at the bottom to do it. It should auto populate your feed if available or you just paste it in and hit send.
I'm also updating stablekraft.app so that when you send the PodPing here my app will update or add your feed and not have to wait for the nightly polling or for me to trigger it manually.


@Nostria and @Sunami how are you guys handling deletions for Nostr Music? I have a Publish to Nostr Music option in @MSP 2.0 that @New Music Nudge Unit is helping me test and I'm just curious how well it works?
I'm using NIP-09 to send the deletion events but they are just request after all.
I'm not so worried about it being deleted from all relays but if sites like yours have music it would be nice if it actually got deleted.
Also do you guys handle splits yet? That also came up as Aaron and I were chatting about this stuff.
I know you guys also allow people to upload on your sites but Aaron is using MSP 2.0 for his RSS feeds so him being able to hit "Publish to Nostr Music" from the same site would save him and others a ton of time and allow them to use one site for it all. Basically I just take the info a user enters in the UI and map it to the Nostr Music stuff like I do when building a RSS feed. Its all the same data after all. I've kind of taken a break from the Nostr Music stuff but NMNU was looking into it so I'm revisiting it.
HAVEN test.

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.

#OP3
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
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 @npub12znr...6yg6 and @Strange Love being played and knowing they used my site to make the RSS feeds is so cool.
