Target Audiences
There are different features geared towards varying interests.
Artists
You can easily upload your files in a few seconds just like you can on SoundCloud. Except there's no size limits and you own the files on permanent decentralized storage. So it's actually way better than SoundCloud.
If you spent your life learning how to perfect your craft and create meaningful art, the last thing you want to do is rent some space on someone else's server and overpay them while signing some ToS agreement that gives them some rights to your art, when you can own it yourself and upload to decentralized storage.
Currently anyone who makes a digital creation needs to show on a public blockchain the proof they made it, or you can't trust them. That fact of life makes this concept of a digital original very important. The Contract Wizard lets you do that with the ability to create copies from the original. Even if you don't want to sell copies, in a future where everything is infinite, it is important to make digital originals of your art.
When you upload your files they are hosted on decentralized storage for over 200 years, signed by you, and tagged for discoverability.
Listeners
Anyone who wants to listen to any music that was released as a token can search it up by the contract or wallet address. Any audio file that has been uploaded to Arweave can also be searched by tx_id, as well as any nft metadata that has audio in it, if you know the tx_id to the json file on Arweave, it can be searched! As well as any playlist created on the site can be searched by it's Arweave tx_id.
You can share playlists that can be listened to without a server backend. Decentralized curation is a huge thing that needs to be talked about more. Serverless Playlists have got it figured out, take a look!
You can listen to your own wallet, or anyone else's wallet if you know their address. Same with contract addresses. You can easily favorite songs, wallets, contracts, playlists, and more. Easily create, tag, and share playlists.
Collectors
Anyone who wants to collect digital collectibles of art can mint a copy from a master or copy. Serious collectors can collect full sets by completing an album of songs, collect only top rarities, or by leveling up their favorite song with referral points and staking.
Investors
Anyone who wants to seriously invest in an artist can seek out high level rarity copies. More rare copies could have more benefits, depending on how the artist decides to do it, including rights or licenses to the song. The original token will always be the top rarity, 1/1 of the song with its own unique metadata that all copies were derived from.
Here's an example of on chain rarity being used in an interesting way. Copies that include sync licenses can be used to demonstrate liquidity for sync, since the tokens are easily tradable, this would create opportunities to provide liquidity for an artist's sync copies.
