That's pretty awesome!

Right but I was referring to app links like what pod.link does.

The robot could give a v4vmusic.com link to the song if the listener wishes.

The format is https://v4vmusic.com/lookup/{feedGuid}/{itemGuid}

That may be a good idea but wouldn't

`re-request with a real app-looking string on playback`

Make the user download the song twice?

I will implement user agent strings for the app and look into registering it.

It never occurred to me to do it when I made this beast

According to the robot, it turns out that I'm not setting one.

`Playback does not send a custom app User-Agent. Audio is loaded in the browser, so the request uses the browser’s own User-Agent (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.).`

I probably should change this

v4vmusic will cache songs in a user's queue.

Should I strip the op3 redirect when caching these songs?

The user may never actually "play" them.

Is there a way I can somehow give the song credit on op3 without downloading the audio again.

For example: I pre-cache a song, then only when the song actually gets played I send off a signal to op3.dev indicating that the song is actually being listened to.

🤷‍♂️
