The Blocktunes app is a pleasant surprise

I've been following the Blocktunes project for a while, kind of waiting for a better way to post music on the blockchain but wasn't quite convinced. That was until my last login when I came across a fully redesigned dapp that is both elegant and functional.

After some reading and doing the corresponding tasks, I was able to mint my first audio on the platform, which was already great as I was just happy to be able to share the music. But the satisfaction was even greater when I received 0.1 Hive because someone listened to my song on the platform.

Theres' the library, which can also be explored through tags. For now, the catalog is limited but I'm sure it will expand soon

I started browsing and realized that there were few musicians posting on the app, and I knew I had to get to doing some promotion as I have already listened to many talented artists here on Hive. It was disappointing to not find them there as I prefer listening to audios rather than watching videos.

Of course you have your profile page that is very similar to the other Hive frontends but with the wonderful feat of having a Music tab, where all o your mints are displayed.

This is interesting from the rewards perspective as you can get evergreen rewards, both as an artist or as a holder of someone else's music. If you believe in a recording/artist and it is for sale, you can buy a copy for yourself, which will grant you rewards every time it is played.

Then we have the "bars" which is the microblogging area of the app.

The most surprising Addition to the app Is the integrated studio Which offers several tools to create music, lyrics, cover Art and mastering your Reccording. Here, you Can also mint your reccording And turn them into NFTs.

Blocktunes has an integrated player to listen to the tracks you like while you blog and interact on the chain. There's also a few studio tools to master your recordings, create lyrics and music with AI, and mint your finished works.

To start minting there are some fees but you can get all the details here: https://app.blocktunes.net/subscribe

On the downside of the app is that you can't download the music nor create Playlists yet. I'm sure these feats will come in time so that it is a perfect app for people who love music, which should be the goal of such projects I hope.

For now, it is a good thing to say that we have a music dapp on Hive and I hope all music lovers start gathering there to share some wonderful vibrations and sounds soundscapes to make life each day more enjoyable. Thanks to the @blocktunes team for the awesome work and moving forward with the project, despite the current economic situation of crypto.
