I wrote a little #rust program to download #music and play it in a random rotation until I have enough of a specific song.
This helps me to find #freemusic I like without much effort.
Currently it only gets #creativecommons music from #jamendo but more sources like #soundcloud are planned.
The idea is that in the future my most played songs can be shared on #mastodon so that users get automatically fed what their friends like.
It is hosted on through @codeberg

I haven't heard of it. I will definitely check it out.
Thanks for introducing me to @funkwhale and open.audio! These are definitely cool projects.
The projects are differently though. While Funkwhale is a streaming server, ViralFM is a client application downloading music and playing it locally.
@peter I used a similar program called iRate long years ago. It would download songs that were licensed for personal use and let you thumbs and thumbs down. That program introduced me to so much new music! I've missed that, thanks for writing this!
need an logo to promoteit on #codeberg
Thanks, I've hastily added a logo, since it helps promoting it :)
Maybe wait a little bit before it settles for a final version.
This is just what I came up hastily scaling down a public domain image of a virus I found.
Hopefully there could be a nicer logo soon :D
