I think for music listening and sharing we just need something simple like the Fountain charts and the Top100 podcastindex has. The DeMu crew already knows what's good and what's not in the index so we're just using that knowledge to seed our stuff and filter it down like we've been doing with LNBeats.com over the years. LNBeats is basically just the podcastindex site but only shows music. Just raw data with only obvious spam and stuff that's tagged as music that isn't really just a mp3 filtered out. My apps are also curated by me or purpose built like itdv.podtards.com. TLDR we need more music apps!!!!

Using the podcasters to curate works to a degree. It works really well right now. But as this space scales up in terms of users, we will need more people curating music. The curation cant just come from a handful of podcasters because they simply cannot cover all tastes and genres. I think if people have the ability to chose their own algos or create custom ones, that makes things very powerful. Wot is a quick easy way to enable this. Just like you can plug in and connect to whatever relays you want, I have a vision for being able to choose your own algo engine in the same way. Power to the people should be the default. We should strive for solutions that put the choice of discovery algo in their hands.
