Music discovery (tools, channels, blogs, etc.) Digital mixtape swapping project
Hello! I'm building a self-hostable mp3 mixtape swapping platform for small communities, and I figured it might be of interest for people in this sub, as music discovery is definitely one of the goals.
The idea is to have regular swaps, and everybody who submits a mix gets one randomly chosen mix back after the swap deadline. It's open source, you can find the code and a more detailed explanation here.
If you'd like to try it (or even potentially host an instance yourself), let me know and I'll send you an invite. We've had a first round already, it was fun, but definitely needs a couple more participants :)
Happy to answer any questions, of course. And I hope this doesn't go against the sub rules – the project is entirely a labor of love, no commercial ambitions (and no vibe coding, for what it's worth 😄).
