- if the app chooses to store the metadata they can serve it via their own url
- if the app doesn't want to save the metadata in their own database - other services can do this - wallets or analytics services that provide some kind of API that returns a URL
If neither the app or wallet service wants to store podcast payment metadata - then we're kind of stuck no matter what the spec is

@merryoscar @francosolerio There is a third way. That host stores the metadata. Each app sends it to the host API found in the feed. This works well for Fountain as a business. Since you're willing to store metadata, all the apps send it to your API, and if someone wants access to their metadata, they choose a host like Fountain that gives them that data. More people choose Fountain as a host because you offer more services.
