 I would love a feature where I could listen to all of the music people are currently listening to from people I follow. We have the track title via music statuses, just not sure how I would get access to the audio streams. Maybe via tidal somehow? @jack #musicstr 

Instagram has this feature: music statuses. Even clips of the audio would be fine. 
 Maybe an integration to apple music 
 Damus has the option to link status to Apple Music. I wish it could link to other things as well because I never use that. 

I heavily use Spotify and Fountain and plan to use Wavlake more than I do. Would be cool if we could have statuses link to these. Wavlake and Fountain especially make sense. 

I know Discord links to Spotify somehow. 
 Track title, artist, album/event should be stuff we put in tags.
Due to limited representation of status in client apps, I use it for more than music 
 Yes. 👆 
 I'd love that too. I once tried to put some 30min to implement that on spotify-player (the rust tui), but realized it would be more than that and never came back. The only thing I miss from the official Spotify UI (that, yes, depends on a Zuck ID 😞) is that. 
 This could be big for music discoverability via the wider nostrverse, and could pull more people into tidal or any other platform that makes it easy to provide music clips. 
 Feels like something that would be more easily integrated with fountain 
 The problem is the same, access to clips from a massive music catalog. 
 Wonder if the titles could somehow be converted to a play list for each of the main providers… 

Maybe a Shazam integration?
Not sure if that is a thing.

 That would work too I guess. 
 If only we had V4V music 🤔

 Wavlake music + nostr  

It would be cool if it can be done with #Wavlake  
 Yea…that would be fantastic. Even better..Listen to a specific genre.  Eg..all rock songs that people I follow are listening to, or have listened to today. 
 If the streaming url is audio formatted (ending in .mp3 or .wav) then apple’s AVFoundation library can easily play it but if the link is improper, it is very hard to parse the audio content 
 Usually platforms don’t make this easy to access because they need play attribution for paying artists. This is why it would have to be clip based like how instagram does it. I’m not sure what music catalog they are tapping into. Maybe custom deal with spotify? 
 easier to just ask from time to time 😄

 Maybe also a cool WoT application... Especially as more specialized WoT circles get defined.

 i think it would be easy to add the audio file link in the @wavlake live status events. if i make a PR to add it, would you add a music player to damus? 😀

 could add the the audio file link as the 3rd param on the `r` tag 
 💯 
 Sick. Came here to say @wavlake. 
 Do people still listen to music in 2024? Odd... 
 I tried to do this with #songstr but needed to build other things first.   
 ive been trying to get cmus to add a usable URL to NIP-38 events, this is the hard part if you're playing old fashioned mp3s from a folder and not using one of the big services, i think most i could do is add a bandcamp url when known (which provides a link to a info page... getting a direct link to the stream from there is a scraping hassle)

ideally there would be some service agnostic identifier but no idea if that exists, nor would it be easy to find that 🙂
