This is an updated version of the original MSP website by the legendary nostr:npub1yvgrrzf4dnmu30qfhw95x87ruu0g2kpv3a64h8hpvqsre8qeuspsgd6pv9.
Its a simple web form that builds a podcasting 2.0 RSS feed for your music.
site built and ran by nostr:npub177fz5zkm87jdmf0we2nz7mm7uc2e7l64uzqrv6rvdrsg8qkrg7yqx0aaq7
main url also points to the new version now so new.musicsideproject.com and musicsideproject.com both work.
I just added support for the <podcast:image> that lets you add additional art to your feed. This allows apps to use different aspect ratio art for things like background.
Here a test one I did that has a 16:9 image for desktop and 9:16 for mobile.
Nothing like seeing payment splits coming in and knowing that artists using my site are getting sats from people enjoying their music at that very moment.
Thanks @DuhLaurien โ๐ป๐ฝ๐จ and @marykateultra for spinning these tracks. o7

Apparently the Primal remote signer wasn't working on my site for importing and uploaded Nostr Music but it should be fixed now.
Thanks @Aaron of Essex for the bug report. ๐ช
I've been thinking about adding the ability to upload your music and art to blossom servers in MSP so you can use them to host your media and I'll build and host the feed for you.
I'm on the fence because I'd prefer you host the media somewhere you truly control in case the blossom server goes done (which has happened for someone using MSP) but also making it dead simple for artist to get started is tempting.
I want to be a RSS music feed creation tool for people but I also realize that easy mode could help people out.
I've also been in this V4V music space long enough to know that if you make it too easy for people they don't really learn anything and I want people to learn that they can host all there music on their own website and just use MSP to make the feed.

For #NostrMusic how is uploading your music to a few free blossom servers supposed to work? Don't these all have limits? Just doesn't seem like a great idea for sharing something you've put so much time and energy into with the world.
I've been working on some experimental nostr features in @MSP 2.0 that may or may not ever be used so I hid them in the UI. If you go to the menu in the upper right hand corner and click "Show Experimental Features" they will now show up with a ๐งช next to them.
Hope this makes it less confusing for people. o7
If you're using @MSP 2.0 to submit or update your RSS feeds to podcast index places make sure you don't have any spaces or special characters in your feed url.
This was causing duplicate feeds in the podcast index.
If you do have a feed that needs change and you do change it let me know so I can keep an eye on it incase it needs some special attention.
Remember that #V4V music also lives out side of these giant Bitcoin Conferences that most people can't afford to go to.
Plenty of us out here looking for cool new tunes from people that just want to share their music with the world.
Got a RSS feed and want to add it to Nostr Music? Simply signing with Nostr, import your RSS feed into MSP, click save and pick Publish to Nostr Music.
@Matt Finlay@New Music Nudge Unit@๐ฉsแดแดแดแด๐ช@Strange Love some of you guys asked about PodPing support to let apps know you updated your feeds well I just added it to new.musicsideproject.com.
This is the first pass so I assume I'm sending the correct data but I build in production so there's only one way to find out.
There is an option in the "save" menu to send the PodPing and there is also a button at the bottom to do it. It should auto populate your feed if available or you just paste it in and hit send.
I'm also updating stablekraft.app so that when you send the PodPing here my app will update or add your feed and not have to wait for the nightly polling or for me to trigger it manually.
