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.

    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)

    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

    There’s the FMA where you can find hundreds of thousands of free music tracks. You can filter by various attributes and license.

    I think it can only pull off when there are ways you can support the artist, with donations for example
