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.

Thank you for the links, never heard this, much appreciated.
Unfortunately, with that comes no assistance to your query.
Have an updoot anyway, for good vibes.
Completely off-topic from the original post, but is updoot like the common alternative term for upvote in Lemmy like toot for Mastodon v. tweet for Twitter?
Yeah. It’s originally from Reddit, though.
“Updoots to the left <<<<<<”
edit: thanks for gold kind stranger
edit edit: wow 69 upvotes, thanks y’all are too kind
You are a gentleman and a scholar, etc. etc.
I believe it predates Lemmy and isn’t particularly associated with it. I would endorse adopting it either formally or informally, though.
This precious token was gifted to me and I pass it to you…
Hell yeah monetized validation! 🤲
Given your “updoot”, I figured that you’d get it, seems that others were not so lucky…
No podium finish for them :(
Wtf is this non sense
Back when I got into music with LMMS (https://lmms.io/) I quickly realized professional artists can recreate eachothers songs, from scratch, in like a few hours. That’s why (in my opinion) “open music” never became a thing.
I would love to be wrong though. I too spent a while looking for this, and would be excited to find out if something exists

Lol as someone who produces music for a hobby, this amused me. My actual niche in production is doing song recreations like that.
I suggest https://jamendo.com
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)
Also lots of early netlabels here:

Used to listen to plenty of ‘thinner’ and ‘ideology.de’
More modern electro releases can be found on video sites, searching for Argofox or NoCopyrightSounds
Servers like peertube but for music?
There’s the FMA where you can find hundreds of thousands of free music tracks. You can filter by various attributes and license.
Maybe check out jamendo.com for listening and downloading CC music
Is funkwahle about free/open music?
On https://www.funkwhale.audio/ I can read following which might be t What I want?
Share your playlists and albums, or whole parts of your library, with your friends and family. Promote free art by sharing it with users on your pod, or with the entire Funkwhale network.
Not inherently.
People do share music there though, both free and non-free even though it’s technically not allowed to share the latter.
Not entirely about free music, but you might find Bandwagon interesting https://lemmy.zip/post/20835272
I think it can only pull of when there are ways you can support the artist, with donations for example
Although it’ not sharing “sources” and it is only a specific genre of nusic, you can find a lot of content on Ektoplazm too: https://ektoplazm.com
