Yes, I was surprised to see 191 in the file properties (and 192 via more professional software).
True, if Tidal can do it, so can we. An ideal scenario would be to upload a 16-bit / 44.1 kHz WAV, automatically generate a 320 kbps copy for RSS feeds, and preserve the original file as a lossless option for those who care. That said, having “just” the 320 kbps file would also be fine with me. If the conversion is done well and without additional tampering, such as normalization, most people wouldn’t hear a difference.

🎵 My first solo release from 4 years ago.
Raw, unpolished, but full of energy. It captures the thoughts many of us shared when the plandemic hit full throttle.

In case anyone is curious, I just checked the Wavlake RSS feed for one of my releases and it seems the original 16-bit/44.1 kHz WAV file was automatically converted to a 191 kbps MP3. That is a bit on the low side, I would say, but it was reassuring to see I have not been unintentionally pushing out WAV files.
It is a good reminder of the importance of knowing both what you upload and what is actually delivered. If I had uploaded a 256 kbps MP3 to Wavlake and ended up with a 191 kbps MP3, the original audio would have been compressed twice, which probably would not have been ideal. In this case, it was fortunate that I provided the WAV file.
On the other hand, for a platform like Sunami, as you explained, I would much rather upload a 256 kbps MP3, or even 320 kbps, since I am responsible for the conversion myself. This avoids pushing very large files to the RSS players.

Thanks for sharing. I've been doing some reading about RSS and realize that I still have some learning to do before becoming a full-blown RSS ninja. 🙂 No doubt, it’s a powerful tool, albeit with a few limitations. With the addition of an identity layer like Nostr as a new standard, it could definitely reach the next level of greatness. I’m sure it won’t be long before we get there.

Looks great. Thanks for using my releases as examples. Much appreciated.
Just one small thing you may want to fix. It looks like the track lists for each release are pulled in backwards, starting with the last song and ending with the first. Probably a minor fix, but an important one.
Other than that, it looks awesome! 🔥 🔥 🔥

In the legacy world, it’s basically the platforms and their internal metadata systems that tie everything from the same artist together (as long as the artist metadata matches an already existing profile), not the distributor itself.
Your music is linked to you through things like the artist name, artist IDs, and platform-specific identifiers (for example, Spotify Artist ID, Apple Music Artist ID, ISRCs, etc.). As long as different distributors deliver releases using the same artist identifiers, the streaming platforms know that everything belongs to the same artist and display it on a single artist page. The listener never sees which distributor was used.
With RSS-based distribution, my understanding is that the feed itself acts as the source of truth. If all music is hosted in a single RSS feed, everything is naturally grouped together. If multiple RSS feeds are used, does it then depend on whether the player can recognize that those feeds belong to the same artist and merge them into a single artist page? Or would the artist be duplicated? I honestly have no idea 🙂

2026-01-17 17:50:34 UTC

- reply

Thanks a lot for the answers.
1) Ah, got it, maybe... so you just keep adding tracks and it automatically becomes an EP or album?
In Sunami Studio, I see the “Create New Track” option where I can upload a track, and then I’m prompted to click “Create Track.” I assumed that pressing this button would immediately publish the track (I haven’t tried it yet).
So to clarify: clicking “Create Track” doesn’t publish anything yet, but instead creates the track within a release, allowing me to add more tracks to the same release if I want?
2) I see. It’s up to the artist to choose the format that best suits players like Fountain, etc.
I’m very used to the legacy distribution world (DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby, etc.), where I just upload a CD-quality file (16-bit / 44.1 kHz) and the necessary conversions happen automatically. I’m wondering whether Wavlake works the same way as Sunami. If it does, I may have ended up with a lot of unnecessarily bloated WAV files… 😅 This is probably something that should be explained in more detail on the upload page, especially for artists coming from the legacy distribution world.
3) I understand that I can choose whether or not to use RSS. I’m mainly curious about what happens when multiple RSS feeds are involved.
For example, if Artist A publishes songs 1–3 via Wavlake (RSS) and songs 4–6 via Sunami (RSS), can a player like Fountain merge those into a single artist page? Or would it create duplicate artist pages, one per RSS feed?
In the legacy world (DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby, etc.), using multiple distributors for the same artist is no problem. If Artist A releases songs 1–3 through TuneCore and 4–6 through DistroKid, everything still appears seamlessly on a single Spotify artist page.
Since RSS-based music distribution works very differently, I’m unsure how this is handled on the listener side.

Beautifully said.
Tuning out the noise is essential to clarity. Attention is finite and far too valuable to waste. Tools should serve humans, not harvest them.
Nostr has immense potential, and we’ve barely scratched the surface.
Decentralize everything. The parallel world belongs to us.

Cool to see all updates and upgrades you're doing. 🙂Really nice feature that you can add custom genres 👍
1) Is it also possible to upload EPs and albums, or just stand-alone tracks (singles)?
2) If I were to upload a wave file, I guess you auto convert it to MP3. What bit rate do you use (just because I'm curious)?
3) What happens if I would upload a new release to Sunami (also to RSS) if the artist already exists on Wavlake? Will it look like the artist just added another release on for example @nprofile…cgkr or will it be a problem if there are two "competing" RSS feeds from the same artist?

Totally get what you mean. Same happened to me on Instagram. Twice. After that, I just had to realize it made no sense to continue providing "free" content to such a mess of a platform. Twitter, I just stopped using anyway because I got bad vibes from just being there. Still on Facebook (because of a fairly large number of followers), but probably not for much more than another year. I'm pretty shadowbanned these days. Nostr is the future for sure.

I didn’t know that. 👍 Sounds really cool. However this develops, I think we’ll start seeing stronger results once some kind of standard emerges, where potential supporters are offered a clear set of options, including their preferred transaction model. Since the v4v idea relies heavily on spontaneous contributions, removing as much friction as possible is probably key.
On the receiving end, though, it makes a lot of sense to keep things strictly in BTC, and maybe XMR. It’s not only simpler, it also aligns with where things seem to be heading anyway. If anything, this just helps speed up the transition away from fiat.

I have a feeling we’ll be seeing a lot more of these kinds of announcements as the old monopoly realizes it’s losing its grip and starts shifting into damage-control mode. Weird times, for sure — but honestly, pretty exciting ones. It’s not often you get to watch a major historical turning point unfold in real time.
And yeah, the “un-sexiness” of the underlying tech is tied to the fact that people don’t love being reminded that real change requires effort — and that it’s coming whether we’re ready or not.
The divide is probably unavoidable at this stage, but the good news is that no one’s being forced into either camp. It’s an entirely optional fork in the road. And personally, I’m pretty confident we’re on the right side of it.

2025-11-20 18:56:54 UTC

I’d argue that it isn’t possible without fully disconnecting the platform from both state influence and shareholder-driven models. Companies already inside that system can’t really escape—they’ve agreed to its rules.
Still, opening the discussion matters. The likely winner? Something new and decentralized, like Nostr.

It's already done. It's called Wavlake.

Or If we want to be 100% independent, we can host our own RSS feed and use Podcasting 2.0 features to control our music and its distribution — no third party needed.
It’s no surprise that legacy platforms are beginning to see this as a real threat to their monopoly.

'Thorns' is the title track from the single/EP (on #Wavlake). Like many of my releases, it comes with a main track + a few shorter bonus pieces. Think of it as a soundtrack 🎬🎥—without the movie. 😉 Some might be confused, but hey, I roll with it. There’s gotta be other weirdos out there who dig this too 😎
The track itself? It’s a hard rock throwback with atmospheric verses, and lyrically, it’s about the pain of the old world we’re leaving behind.
I hope you will enjoy it.

6 out of 6 tracks on Wavlake's Top 40—what an amazing start! 🎸⚡🎉
As a newcomer to the Nostr/RSS music scene, I couldn’t be more excited about this journey. Sure, I’m not yet competing with Spotify's reach and profit, but let’s not forget: I’m just a couple of weeks into this new adventure, while I’ve spent what feels like an eternity on the old platforms.
What really stands out here is the sense of fun and the direct, authentic connection with listeners. This isn’t just about numbers (though they do matter)—it’s about creating something that truly resonates. I’m excited to see how far we can take this together. 🎶
From where I stand, the legacy music world feels like it’s on its last breath. The real growth, especially for independent artists like myself, is happening right here, right now. 🌱 With one foot in both worlds, I’m in for a transparent, eye-opening ride. 💡
Can't wait to share more and see where this path leads! ⚡

What does a #decentralized future for music actually look like?
For artists: creative freedom, true ownership, and a sustainable way to make a living—without middlemen.
For listeners: discovery on their own terms. No algorithmic walls, no corporate gatekeepers—just simple, open access to #music.
But here’s the hard part:
People are used to everything in one place. #Spotify made that the norm.
Any new platform that hopes to replace the current system has to be just as seamless—a true one-stop place for all music, not a scattered mess of tools.
Is it possible?
