Not only does Stablekraft ROCK 🎸🎸🎸, it also gets the track order right every time. Surprisingly, that's still a challenge for some Podcasting 2.0 apps.
When I release music with more than one track, the sequence matters. Whether it's just two tracks like this release or a full album with 8–10 tracks, the order is an important part of the listening experience.

Same for me unfortunately. Some of my releases (with more than one track) now have random track order instead of the intended one (which is specified in the album feed). Everything was fine until the latest update. Both the web- and phone app seem to be affected.
I've noticed that I'm not alone with this problem.
This is just one example:
https://fountain.fm/album/55sNHI1tuY6XNjZYDlaz
The correct track list should be:
1) Resonance
2) Tell Me All Your Secrets
3) Whispering Stars
4) Silent Prayer
5) The Lost Serenade
6) Where Do All The Broken Pieces Go
I hope this helps.

Yes, I noticed the track-ordering-fix and that's why it felt like the perfect time to put a spotlight on your cool creation. However, I just noticed that it no longer skips to the next track on an album (which it did earlier). Maybe just a temporary hiccup. Also, for some strange reason, it has pulled in all my releases, except "The Embrace". But then again, how boring would life be without its small mysteries :)

I can't really comment on the community at large. I've been around long enough to know a fair number of people here, but not enough to speak for everyone.
But the ROI argument makes a lot of sense to me. It's hard to onboard artists with decent followings if the economics don't make sense for them.
I'm still here despite that because I believe in what we're building. But the reality is that I make more from Spotify in a single day than I make from a month in the Valueverse.
Spotify deserves much of the criticism it gets, and I'd love to see the Valueverse become the go-to place for independent artists. Right now, though, at least from where I stand, the gap isn't closing. It's moving in the other direction.
If we want more artists to show up, we probably need to spend less time explaining why they should be here and more time making it financially obvious 🎸🎸🎸

It was pretty cool to see the comment cross-posted on the same track in Fountain, including the StableKraft link as well. This only happened with tracks that had a Fountain wallet in the album feed, so I'm guessing that had something to do with it, but I'm not sure. Maybe some other sorcery was at play 🧙‍♂️🪄🌟
That said, it could be a really interesting feature to see across all major apps. Comments are great promotion for artists, and having them follow album feeds in some way could increase creators' willingness to promote smaller apps as well.
I suspect many artists and podcasters are more likely to promote the app where comments, reactions, and zaps are visible if they're choosing between two apps of similar quality. If those interactions are visible everywhere, though, they might be more willing to direct people to the app with the better features, even if it's less well known. I could be wrong.
Great idea to have a toggle that lets people choose whether a comment is reposted to their profile.

Good thinking. Sometimes things are just meant to be as they turned out. I'm applying that mindset more and more in my own productions/performances. Considering that I have returned to this track several times, clearly implies that it has something special and unique attached to it. Cool stuff.

...actually, I'm starting to wonder if it is the Fountain wallet in the feed that does the auto-posting to my page? (is that even possible?) Pretty sure I commented on more tracks, but they don't show. Only the two the had a Fountain wallet in the album feeds.

2026-06-03 01:48:34 UTC

Rizful.
A bonus feature I noticed with this particular track, since Matt used Fountain's wallet in the feed for this one, they also published the comment, which included a StableKraft link. Nice.
I had no idea that the comments in the zaps were automatically published to my Nostr page. Maybe an idea to mention it on the zap popup. I'm fine with it and happy to promote, but others might see it differently. However, it would be pretty cool if the comments were published to StableKraft (I have additional inputs about that in the upcoming PM).

I've been testing it in a number of ways, and honestly, I have no idea. Sometimes it works pretty well, often it doesn't. Sometimes it appears to improve a bit by changing browser, but then it suddenly changes. I tried bypassing VPN, and also tried changing VPN locations. I tried bypassing both ad blocker and enhanced tracking protection. I tried private windows. The results appear to be random, which makes no sense. Other websites function as expected (various locations), so I don't think it's a geo problem. However, as I said, if I am the only one with this issue, then forget about it. In that case, it's my personal problem that I should solve :) Maybe I just need a priest to perform an exorcism and sprinkle some holy water in the corners of where I live... haha.

Totally understand what you're saying about CDNs. But that isn't what I'm talking about here. The whole Sunami page is very slow to load. Sometimes minutes. And sometimes it needs a couple of refreshes before it loads fully. I'm not sure why. Maybe it just me, but it's the same on all my computers (Linux and Windows). I've tried deleting site data, cache, etc. I just wanted you to know, if you weren't aware of it. However, if it's just me, then just ignore my comment.
Sounds very good that you do no processing. Neither does Fountain (they have a few other playback problems, especially when you use them in a browser instead of the phone app). And now StableKraft doesn't do processing either.

I’ve checked out the app a bit more, and I must say I’m impressed with your work, especially how lightweight it is and how fast it responds. The search function totally rocks. Also, as I’ve mentioned before, I really like the design and the way you’ve integrated artwork into the backgrounds. If you want, I can share a few more ideas for improvements in a PM. Right now, you’re already on your way to becoming the number one app.

2026-06-01 22:54:33 UTC

Cool. 🎸 I'm not completely sure, the gapless might work now. But since everything loads extremely slow I can't tell for sure. It took me a couple of minutes to navigate to my artist page from the front page (tried on both laptop and studio PC). I will do a more thorough test when it's up and running as intended. Great that you're having a look at the search function too. It doesn't work at all for me.
Another question, do you apply any kind of processing to the audio before it reaches me, or is it my original file with zero additional changes to it? Maybe it's just my imagination, but it feels like the same release on Fountain sounds a little bit more "open". I'm not sure. Need to have a closer listen.
I'm just asking because I realized that the StableKraft app seems to do some severe (sound) compression of the sound, so apparently this is something to be aware of.
Sunami is nothing like that, and maybe just my imagination 🙂

No AI in this one.
Yes, subscription software deals suck. They'd already been doing that for a while, and I wasn't pleased about it. But the final dealbreaker for me was when they revealed what they were really about and didn't allow graphic artists to use their products if they happened to live in the "wrong" country, because their government didn't agree with some other government.
That's when the "own nothing and be happy" agenda pulls off its mask and shows its ugly face.

Thank you for your response. I appreciate you clarifying your intent.
To be clear, my original post was to understand how people in the community view this kind of activity. Nothing vague about that.
I want to understand whether this is a community I want to continue investing my time in. If the majority supports this behavior, I would rather step away. The only way to get a sense of that is to ask openly.
A post can be clear and still be misread when it isn’t fully engaged with.
There’s no need to revisit or debate what was said in the roundtable discussion. People can listen and draw their own conclusions, and hopefully they will, because it was an important conversation.
Thank you again for taking the time to respond. I’ll leave it there.

Hi Silvie,
Right now I’m checking out the V4V Roundtable, and it seems that you have interpreted my post as support for this behavior, which is both surprising and disappointing.
As Matt points out, I want to understand people's opinions about this.
It is much easier to get an honest response by asking a fairly neutral question.
When I saw the pirate upload I’m commenting on, I was genuinely disappointed to see this happening in the Nostr space. I wanted to get a better understanding of whether I have been wasting my time investing so much in this community since I joined last year. I have no interest in building my presence in a piracy space.
If you had read my post carefully, it should have been clear that I do not support this behavior. A few of my comments would have made that even clearer.
Also, when I put a heart and a zap on your "Hard pass" repost two days ago, it should have been a pretty strong indication that we are on the same page.
I have been an active part of the international music scene since the '90s, with an extensive catalog and tours around the world. I have witnessed the dark side of being ripped off and watched much of the business collapse firsthand.
That makes it not only disappointing, but genuinely hurtful, to be labeled as supportive of something I have been struggling with for the past 25 years.
Thank you for reading.
Henrik Flyman

In this particular case, I guess the difference is that instead of Daniel Ek (Spotify) taking the money, now Jay does, assuming someone chooses to zap the music.

My music is uploaded by me.
The other music; yes.

I’m curious what people here think about uploading other people’s music to Nostr, and even accepting zaps for it.
I just stumbled across a huge catalog that includes not only albums from artists I personally know, but also Metallica, Lady Gaga, Muse, Iron Maiden, and plenty more. According to @nprofile…va2w and @nprofile…m0xe, all of it was uploaded by @nprofile…xp2j (I don't know if that is true, or if your account has been compromised).
Is this something people actually support or appreciate?
Looking forward to hear your thoughts.
I can’t help but feel that many artists would see Nostr very differently once they discover this kind of thing happening here.

Top-of-the-list improvements for most apps right now are simply getting already existing features to work as frictionlessly and lightweight as possible.
For Sunami, that would be page load, search, and music playback.
Another huge improvement would be establishing a tight relationship with Nostria (the only other app I know of offering similar functionality) and agreeing on which standards need to be fulfilled for publishing tracks and albums. At the moment, there’s still some inconsistency.
I don’t know which app is most accurate, but it’s my impression that uploads from Nostria don’t function equally well in Sunami, and vice versa. For example, my first Sunami uploads didn’t show which album they belonged to on Nostria (in track view). Another example is that albums uploaded through Nostria show no artist name in Sunami. Also, tracks uploaded in Nostria don't show in the Tracks tab in Sunami (only in the Releases tab).
I’m sure there are other small details that could use some consistency as well, but I can’t remember them off the top of my head.
Since you and @nprofile…0ds9 of @nprofile…r4un are the pioneers in this area, whatever standards you agree on will more or less become the foundation future apps follow.
One really cool feature I’d love to see across all music apps is gapless playback, like Spotify has. When I make an album or EP, the pauses between songs aren’t intended to be random. Some tracks are designed to transition seamlessly into the next without the listener noticing. The same applies to live albums.
Neither native Nostr music apps nor RSS-based music apps (such as Fountain) handle this particularly well right now.
I can definitely see the challenge, since the files are scattered across different servers and relays. It would require preloading the upcoming track in the background while the current one is still playing.
The app that figures out how to solve this properly will probably become my go-to app 🙂 🎸
PS. I would suggest not making a one-click download feature. Some artists sell their audio files and it would probably not feel great for them.

Looking forward to checking out that discussion. It definitely feels counterproductive for independent explorers to move toward centralized solutions. "Convenience" was always the carrot that led us astray in the legacy world.
It's actually a bit odd that none of the NWC alternatives support keysend. I'm no expert on the topic, but from what I can gather, it should be a fairly simple addition to the wallets that already exist, and an important one. Maybe the real issue is fear of being attacked by the legacy world, because with integrated keysend, we start becoming uncomfortably liberated. I have no idea, but very little surprises me these days.
Another topic that would be interesting to discuss is how to make the v4v model work better. As you know very well, it doesn't work great for music. Yes, we're still early, but I have a feeling that more time alone won't solve the challenge. At the moment, it's largely musicians supporting musicians. 🙂
If we want to bring more artists over from "the other side," it would help tremendously if we could also become a real alternative for people who are already getting streams from places like Spotify. Everyone knows they pay almost nothing, but I still make more from Spotify in one day than I do in the v4v space in a month.
I'm still investing a lot of time here because it makes so much sense, and I firmly believe this is where the future is headed. However, that belief alone won't make it an easy sell.
The solution is probably within our reach, even if it isn't clearly visible yet. It's great that this panel discussion will shine a light on some of our current challenges so the bright minds in this space can come together and brainstorm.

Thanks for the input. Much appreciated. I’m just a little paranoid about using a wallet that mentions increasing limits through identity verification and KYC. It feels like a step toward something I want to move away from.

Thanks for the kind words 🙏
Probably a good discussion to have, because I'm lost 😅 Remember an old conversation with you and @nprofile…0ds9 (if I remember it correctly) about Coinos not being a good choice for Nostr, and Rizful would be better (didn't even know they had a paid version), but I get a feeling that I'm about to change again... haha. Exciting times 🎸

Great songwriting and performance by @Matt_Finlay 🎸
Authentic, raw, and sincere. Check it out and show him some support ⚡⚡⚡
Also dig into the rest of his catalog. Lots of quality music to discover.
Matt strikes me as one of those artists who quietly gives tremendous value through his music while receiving far less in return than he deserves.

Actually… by shadowbanning this track, they accidentally inspired the next single: “Shadowbanned” 🎸🎸🎸 Which ended up being even more popular.

Haha.... I appreciate it 🙂 Of course you can do it. This song more or less wrote itself. Just a quick look around and there it is... the full circus production 🎸

NOT MY CIRCUS 🎸
This track was released exactly one year ago through the legacy channels.
https://fountain.fm/album/h5VGmqWaRViipE1BIrJW
Apparently it’s a highly sensitive topic. It’s still heavily shadowbanned on dusty, deteriorating platforms like Facebook 🤡🎪
Let's celebrate the anniversary by releasing it here in the valueverse.

The full EP "The Embrace" was released on Christmas Eve 2024.
In the weeks leading up to it, the music were written, recorded, and released as two-song singles every other week, gradually unfolding the EP before the full release on December 24th.

It has an intimate acoustic vibe. Even the distorted guitar solo was played on an acoustic guitar.
If you enjoy the sound, check out the full EP.
