So it dawned on me we are missing a few things on steemit.com
We have a tremendous surgence of musicians on this website
We competitions posts about music
We have people who post music.
We have Guitar players
Rappers
Vocalists
Synth makers
Beat makers
We all love music here right?
But we need the next step.
We need applications that are based off of the steemblockchain that reward musicians bigggggggg and smalllllllllllll and listeners.
Last.fm steemit clone.
What last fm is it pretty much records music when you listen to it off of a program or application or even a website.
Programs that work with Last.fm are winamp or vlc player or windows media player.
Applications spotify and itunes apple music google music
Websites soundcloud youtube.
This website has been on the decline since mr spotify came around.
I @sinned have 2 last.fm accounts.

I feel as I am the last person on this website all of my friends have abandoned it or forgot their passwords.
I think this website needs a reboot steemit style.
This website will record your bands you listen to. All of your loved tracks. How many times you listen to an artist an album or song.
Why cant we take that and combine steemit with it where you get rewarded for what you listen to. Say you listen to an artist you get rewarded in steem for listening to a album, listening to the same artist 100-200-1000-10000 etc times. You get paid! This website would be more for big artists. Instead of a curator and a blogger give a musician usually big wigs a piece for how many times they got listened to. And you get a reward for a few things like listening to only one genre and really getting into it or the opposite where you are eclectic! If you suggest someone some music that they never heard before you get rewarded. minnow and whale rules are enacted here. On top of that those artists can interact with their fanbase in real time. Give out merchandise and albums and tickets and vip and have fan meetups etc. If you do not like music that an artist creates flag them or leave a review. You can earn from reviews as well. Or from owning things from the bands like rare albums or the first shirt from their first album. You could set up where oldschool fans or newschool fans earn as well! Problems i see with this website is instant flag bands that you hate. And having someone just play music without them being there.. You would need to have a verification for those so there is no cheaters. it would be super cool to have a widget on the top of your steempage that shows the music that you listen to on the website. Even a link to a playlist of your music and you can earn from people that follow your music you listen to. I can see a final way to earn. Betting on what a musician or a user is going to listen to next or their next concert that the person is going to go get as merchandise. That way analytical people can earn as well!
SpotiSteem?
I say the main website linked to last.steem. would be a spotify clone.
Last.fm.steem is the main website for stats and interactions.
Spotisteem is the place where you listen to the music. Could link it to steemit so it shows what music you are playing and keep it in its own tag so it does not become to spammy.
The difference between spotify and spotifysteem could be a few things. Like No advertisements. Maybe a paid for subscription that would get you closer to your favorite bands. Giveaways vips secret livestreams. Or a sound quality that is like FLAC. i do not think FLAC exists on spotify. Everyone wins! You would be able to see what your followers are listening to and respond to their taste of their music and interact with them.
SoundSteem.
The little guys need love as well. This would be a website for new musicians to get together and make stuff You like. You can sell your tracks as a musician big and small. You can get rewarded on here for having people listening. Having a music marketplace where you can sell beats riffs editing talents. Sell lessons. Sell guitars or used tech. Have people tune into podcasts and get steem for it! Have famous musicians judge new music . Promoting people. Let the big music companies come here as well to find new talent and let them interact in a transperant way with the new musicians. Roadies. People are in the background find the real lovers of music and give them a chance!
I think this could revolutionize the music industry completely in a positive manner.
The final idea.
Discord intergration with these websites.
Well see you all later @sinned
Credit goes to the logo creators of all three of these amazing websites.

Nice Nice. I just was wondering how you always get so many votes on your content? I would like to get that many votes. any help would be great.
i have a few people who follow me. If you wish to know more add me on discord
Yes! Great ideas, I love it!
Thank you I would hope someone finds this and picks it up.
I really like the ideas you present in your posts. Several services are already available that allows payments of the producer of music. I think most of them are working with crypto currencies as payment currency.
Years ago I was working with a friend to create a workable concept for a very similar service, but then based on fiat currencies. What we found out in our market research is that many producers of music do prefer to work with the big channels and music re-sellers. The main reasons are: 1) re-sellers and publishers have the network to promote the music 2) reach of publishers 3) user preference to use the big service (itunes, beatport, spotify, soundcloud) 4) progress in increase of revenues per track to the artists shown by the big players such as itunes, beatport and so on. Although streaming services are users favourite, artist do not particular like services like Spotify since most of the artists do earn next to nothing. Therefore it is extremely difficult to setup a new service competing with the existing channels, since building and marketing of any new service in a market that is dominated by big players with deep pockets, is most likely suicide.
But I do love to hear when someone want to invest time in building technology of a music service that allows artists to make direct revenue, since music is a passion of mine, I love to participate in projects to create new services and models for the music producers and music fans.
Would it not succeed if you reward big musicians and listeners alike? That would kill spotify in the long run I think. If you set it up with even more options then the competitors the competitors would need to change or die. And I forgot about a itunes and all of that! HOW can I forget that! I would love to eventually invest in something like this but I am way way way low. Many others have higher then me. I need to build up everything before I invest anything. iF YOU want drop me a line lets talk a bit you seem to be in the know and these are just ideas I am shooting out there!
The business case for Spotify is very thin, with only 10 Euro/mnth subscription fee there is simply not a lot of money to share with the artists. Spotify as an organisation has huge costs in terms of technology and labour costs. Even Beatport, the number one seller of electronic music has 10s of people just making the contracts and handling the content management side of things as well as marketing. They offer artists already a much better fee than the traditional vinyl and CD resellers and distributers. I know a few known electronic artist who skipped all the traditional channels and started selling there tracks through their own website and used FB and other channels to promote and sometimes even a local artist promotion agency, but they saw the revenues drop dramatically. Selling music requires channels to plug/promote the music, and that is what the distributers have, they have connections with the radio stations, with TV stations, with billboard owners etc etc. As mentioned already in my previous comments, there are parties who created service for direct selling by artists to consumers, but they need to have deep pockets. Even Spotify is not running black numbers as far as I know. As well as Soundcloud as far as I know the rumours; They had to lay off quite a few people very recently and also had to close a couple of important offices throughout the world.
