Music used in DJ mixes could help massively with discoverability. I think something like Spotify stations has already been requested by others, but I’m taking this from a different angle.
A pre-recorded (or live) DJ mix or radio program/podcast, hosted on Minm, which uses Minm songs, should count towards listens to those songs on Minm, either by an automated Content ID-style system, or using self-reported track IDs, or a mix of both.
This would be really cool. Do you think there’s enough music up on Minm for people to record entire mixes using nothing but the Minm catalog? Realistically people are probably going to have a mix of stuff both on and off Minm, but with that said we do have licenses with IMRO and PRS which should cover most copyrighted music.
I think for the moment, this is purely hypothetical, a nice future feature behind some higher priority items.
However, I do think radio programs & podcasts can be a great help with discoverability for listeners, & artists will appreciate their appearances in such programs on minm counting towards their own play counts, & could help to attract artists and listeners.
