Unminus Music

@wowa Awesome selection and quality. Love it! Grüße aus NRW

@andrefuchs Appreciate it - thank you! Ebenso 😊✌🏽

@wowa bro u had me at "job + 3 kids" lol! 1st off, congrats! You are now the #1 Product of the day on PH, so let's change that on your home page. :) Would be good to see the tags within each track vs just having them as headers. Make the "Submit" option more visible - I almost missed it. Ad-free shmad-free. If you can make extra cash from our eyeballs, go for it. Most boot-strapping entrepreneurs won't truly care. Rock on. I'm a fan.

@stephenalan ooo yes bro - thank you! big encouragement for me - especially in the moment I got a notification of your comment paired with your great dad-picture!! 😃 - you're right - badge changed 💪🏽 - "tags within the tracks" - great idea - always have to balance - I love it so clean as possible but also understand the benefit - I'll try :) - "submit" - ok will do :) you are awesome and made my day! keep doing as a great dad and take care. thank you

@wowa salute!

@tom4 N🍦 Tom, thank you, great feedback, I will get all 3 points done asap. I was also thinking of a sticky header navigation and maybe endless scroll with no-footer anymore. And great tool "bubbles". have a nice day.

@tom4 bubbles is cool. What's your monetization strategy?

@wowa thanks :) Good job on resolving those issues so quickly!

@sune_thorsen thanks so much for your valuable feedback and your appreciation. I take your thoughts into account. Especially your 2nd point - maybe someone has some ideas what could be a way here?! If I look over to unsplash - is there such a proof for real "freeness" (except the brand itself) Thank You!

@sune_thorsen @wowa For new brands, you can make sure you are communicating straight from the artist. If artist has a verified instagram, twitter or other profile out there. Other than that, unsure how you will verify all.

@adigold1 Interesting thought, thank you. Seems reasonable at first. But I think its even the other way round - "Unsplash for Music" will have to compete with upcoming and already existing AI-Music Services, where you get exclusive and free (flat-fee) music. Valuable Music creation will be increasingly faster as photography does. 1. Even now there are great songs on Soundcloud and even on Unminus made with the iPhone. Garageband, Logic, Ableton etc. are all getting more powerful, at the same time simpler while even growing in quality. AI will also be part of music creation in the future. 2. on the other hand I am fully on your side - for me its not about the quantity of songs, I would love to see a platform for great curated music from talented artists. But besides the amount of great photos you get on Unsplash, they did another big thing - setting a licensing standard, so nobody worries about copyright on these images today. This is a far more higher obstacle for music - but it is possible. I hope.

@adigold1 rather brash opinion, given that this model is already proven. Obviously, I disagree. Unsplash for music is necessary in the startup ecosystem. More options please!

@adigold1 @stephen_campbell1 have you thought if and how your product can harm music composers and producers? And how instead can help them financially and in their professional career? A part from a visibility which is yet to get confirmed...

@adigold1 @stephen_campbell1 @adsidera1 Good point. I would try to answer in the following manner: - license free platforms are not the cause but a consequence of various developments in the field of music (AI Music is coming etc.), internet behavior and digitalization. Think of a similar example: local companies are threatened by digitalization, if they have not accepted this development in time and incorporated it into their business. But you are absolutely right, it is a big challenge to combine “free premium music for everyone” PLUS “letting artists benefit” - which is Unminus’s Mission. We’re working on the following: a) more reach and backlinks for unknown artists who offer selected tracks for free to get noticed and exposure b) artists will earn 80%+ of all revenue Unmimus can generate with their music. c) artist can earn even more via cross- & up-selling, d) In the future clients can book artists via Unminus directly e) maybe Smart Contracts will provide the artists a guaranteed and automated way to combine Open Music + Copyright + Royalties … i am always looking for more and better ways to bring “free music” and “better paid artists” together. In simple terms: just look what Unsplash did to the Stock-Photos industry and how they now even bringing solutions for ad alternatives. would love to hear your ideas.

@liammckay thank you Liam :-)

@robingood thank you for the appreciation and your honest feedback. really valuable. Will definitely consider your points. Switching to a much better UX/UI is one of the biggest hurdles. Have to look for some investments now...

@troy_talker thank you, nice to hear ;)
