Songbee will be a post-cloud music streaming app, similar to Spotify or Deezer. The key difference is: it's free and decentralized, powered by peer-to-peer networks like BitTorrent.
Status: streams music from torrent files (given there are enough seeds).
To run it from source:
- Install MPV globally (
brew install mpv
on macOS, various repos on Linux, but no idea about Windows) git clone https://github.com/Songbee/desktop
npm install && gulp && npm start
Why not?
Technically, this violates the DMCA, you're right. However, we will cover for that with optional Bitcoin-powered donations. This would work much like Flattr: say, you pay $10 per month and listen to Ruby My Dear tracks 15 times and to sabufaizu 20 times this month. Ruby My Dear gets $10 * (15/35) = $4.28 and sabufaizu gets the rest.
Those who don't want to pay wouldn't have paid if Songbee didn't exist.
Yeah, well, look at the Popcorn Time.
Unlicense. I wanted to use MIT, but it doesn't really make sense.
