Announcing Nostria 2.0! We've been working hard adding new features and improving existing ones. Very grateful for everyone who's been trying out Nostria and providing very valuable feedback. We hope and think many of you are very happy that your input has been added. Read more about it here: View article →

Music is for everywhere! Break free of the Nostr-Cage by downloading your favorite playlists as .m3u8 files and open in your favorite media player. How about WinAmp Classic?

We added the ability to configure relays specifically for music discovery (and streams). Now you can discover more music, without having to add these relays to your own account relays. Many other improvements have been added, including "Publish Event" for tracks and playlists, giving you the ability to ensure your own (and other's) tracks are available on your own relays. We've seen that tracks are distributed differently depending on the music app you're using, so this is a great way to ensure everyone will discover your music.

Nostria Music improvements: - Extract title from filename. - Extracts album art from file if exists. - Extracts other metadata from the file. - Attempts to automatically detect if AI Generated and toggle for you. - Drag and drop of both track and album art. This makes it smooth and easy to publish your tracks. Just choose your file, then publish for the world to enjoy and look at the zaps keep coming! Tip: If you make a mistake, you can open "Media", which is your media files. Here you will find the extracted album picture and the music file. You can manually delete, and try again. Get a tool like "Mp3tag" to modify your .mp3 files before uploading. See here how quickly you can publish your songs to Nostr using Nostria:

We want to help get more great content on Nostr! One of the contents that is lacking is photographs. Many photographers on Nostr only post as short form notes, though there is a dedicated picture note that anyone can use to build up their public media library. Introducing a new "Media" option. When you publish photos or videos, Nostria will create both picture or video post, and it will automatically publish as short form post ,so your photographs and videos get the exposure they deserve across all Nostr clients.

Nostria Music is now available! You can enjoy music anywhere, on your desktop or in your pocket. If you're a music creator, you can publish your own tracks and build playlists for others to enjoy.

Added links for @Shosho – Live Stream on Nostr and @Kieran's zap.stream to the Streams section, helping to get more streamers get started!

We just fixed an important issue where the app wouldn't pre-load all the files needed to run offline. This caused issues where dynamically loaded modules wouldn't open, if the app had been updated since last you used it. This should fix the issues some users have been seeing with long loading screens. This loading indicator should usually disappear fairly quickly, especially now with this new update.

Wouldn't it be great to consume YouTube the way you want it, and not how Google want you to? Nostria has a new Premium feature to create YouTube channels as Bookmark sets so you can watch your favorite creators without distractions. Enjoy!

Content creators on Nostr move around on relays, sometimes there is good content created that is not accessible on the author's current relays. Be a good net-citizen on Nostr and republish content whenever you can. Here is an example, a great article on how to get started with ZapStream by @TheGrinder. It was not accessible on his relays, so I republished it and now the new "Discover" section loads his 2 year old article just fine.
