I’m diving into the concept of open/ free music. I love and live foss IT stuff and would like to move to open music as well.

Is there some notable movement? Apps? Servers like peertube but for music? How to contribute? How to follow artists/ support artists

There’s a section in the free music wikipedia article which I’m currently browsing. What’s your experience? How do you live with free music?

I’m not interested in using it for video production but as an end user who’s part of the foss movement.

    Some of the early CC music sites, around 20 years ago, were ccmixter.org and mixotic.net .

    I remember listening to Ashwan on CCMixter, and when Mixotic 061 (from The Ascent) was released, putting it on repeat because it was a fun boppy mix.

    Looks like Mixotic has made their final mix-300 in 2022, with CCMixter still going strong.

    • For metal, check out openmetalcast (although it has also finished with releasing new casts)
