@txels I make a music player app – @Radiccio – and I thought it might be interesting if people could browse, follow, and listen to Faircamp artists they like directly in the app. Similar to what Fairplayer does, only in a native Mac app instead of a web app.
I can see that Faircamp sites have RSS feeds, but it doesn’t look like they contain enough information to enumerate albums and songs, find stream URLs to play, etc. So I was curious how Fairplayer is doing this.

@dmd @fairplayer My short answer is, I don't think we will be putting effort into such a "music consumption API" in the near future, because we have more important problems to solve first, the main one around creator consent.
