It's been a while since I did anything, but IIRC, with an lnaddress, my apps look up a keysend first, then fallback to lnurlp.

This was a design choice because I like that keysend makes sending the metadata easier, so it's my preference over sending to lnurlp when given both options.

Also, I've also considered creating a new app that moves away from Lightning and really focuses on the funding tag. If the podcaster wants lightning as a payment, they can host their own lightning payment infrastructure or find a host, and the app just provides a link to the podcasters lightning page.

I'm not sure. And nothing prevents a playlist from being only AI music or created by an AI.

I suspect we're going to end up going back to word of mouth being the best way of receiving recommendations.

The live music shows have been fun and interesting, and lots to improve there, and I would love to see a return to music videos and the creativity those brought out.

Also, the bands want to get paid, and I'm not sure lightning is the best method anymore. It's proven to be complicated. Maybe some improvements to the funding tag, make it so it could be styled more like a link.tree page. Maybe a link to the merch store, paypal, and a QR code to the lightning wallet.

A way to make curating a playlist worth the time of the guys doing it. The ones doing it now are in it for love of the game.

Why do people spend more on a hand carved wooden spoon than a machine made one? They're functionally the same, so why is one 25x the cost of the other?

I think AI is the CNC machine of our creativity, and people are going to want the imperfect human made thing over the perfect machine made thing.

I think a way to filter the AI music will be valuable, so a way to verify it was made by hand or curated playlists. The music shows have been a good way of filtering, but it's tough.

Here's a potentially good use for AI. Fuzzy searching. Remember when Curry and The Keeper was hard to find in the Index because it was Curry & The Keeper? A fuzzy search would totally fix that, and AI may be able to autocorrect the query or send multiple potential queries to the Index to hopefully get the right podcast back in the search results.

I'm brainstorming something. For chapters, it's tied to a timestamp, which is cool, but the same idea can be modified so it's not tied to a timestamp and you have swipable photos, sort of like IG. So you could be listening to a photographer telling a story about their photoshoot and you're swiping on the photos, but if there's one you want to spend more time on, you don't have a timestamp auto changing the photo.
