This is interesting & exciting to hear about & I’ve been waiting for years for this to happen. I was hopeful that Bittunes would succeed but alas they bit off more than they could chew. The aspect about that project that fascinated me was the goal of financially linking artists - fans - curators. Since we don’t have great FM radio stations & DJs any more, coding-in some curation incentives would be helpful for talented but undiscovered artists.
I totally agree that we need better ways for people to curate and recommend content to others. What really excites me about the open content model (e.g. in podcasting) is we can create all different kinds of ways to consume and share that content.
