unless they compress it down to 64Kbps probably not.

I see two options for publishing to the RSS websub - used by a lot of existing web properties already

And podping - it's attached to some web3 💩coin called hive 😬

Podcasting 2.0 Podcast Namespace introduction - Podcasting 2.0

But we have such a tiny demand, I cannot possibly justify wasting another minute on things that are barely used. I spent a ton on analytics (almost unused), setting moderation headers (unused by any of the clients), and many other things just to have them not used with days/weeks of wasted time and money. I really do not see demand, we have so few people and so little usage of any “advanced” features.

Yeah this I understand. Slow growth leaves little room for stuff like this. It might not be the time now. This DeMu thing need time to grow still. Hopefully in the future it will expand to the point of being worthwhile. Thanks for the attention anyways. I'll be keeping an eye on it and will harass you again sometime in the future 😂🫡

Not seeing demand =/= there is no demand. You have to understand whats happening right now. There are two very similar ecosystems, connected initially only through usage of lightning payments via keysend... are colliding. The podcasting 2.0 world realized they could selfhost music via rss and found lightning as a payment rail via keysend boosts. Whereas Nostr created lightning zaps and primarily uses lnurl today. These two worlds are very similar and have very similar ethos but are using entirely different communication layers. Podcastinf 2.0 comes from the massive podcasting world thatbhas been amassing users for 25 years. They have been searching for solutions that I know nostr cam provide. But its chicken or the egg. Which comes first? Without the tools, they won't come to nostr or care. So you don't hear the demand. But they are very much out there. All that said, hosting is not the biggest issue right now. We need to come to a gentleman's agreement with the PC2.0 crowd as to how we somewhatbstandardize zaps/boosts and move fwd together as one larger community And why am I so passionate on this? Because there are tens of thousands of insanely talented musicians out there struggling to eat because they have no proper meals of monetization without fear of censorship or rugpulls. Nostr + rss + bitcoin fixes this but only if all 3 are aligned. Many families and livelihoods depend on this. Real music culture depends on this (unless you like ai slop)... because the industry is dying fast. Its all a lot bigger than just some features really.

Just to throw some extra work in there… some way of BUYING an mp3 or wav with sats would be cool. “You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy” I think Mr Nakamoto once said… The day will come when Spotify rugs peoples’ music collections and it will be moderately lol imo.

Since feeds are publicly hosted you can technically download them for free. That's just part of v4v. The RSS spec also allows for a funding tag where you can essentially link a fiat payment rail like PayPal. But you cam also utilize it to link to a merch page or download my song for x sats webpage or whatever.
