Ratio can tell you who played on a record now, not just who released it. A musician gets a page of their own, for the human rather than the band: what they play, who they play with, and everything they have been credited on across every project.
Lots of updates in the last couple of weeks at Ratio.fm I've been dreaming about this artist-centric music streaming app for years, and now that it's up and functioning, help me share it with all of your musicians and music-loving friends.
15 new albums from 8 new artists added to Ratio.fm this week. Learn about how our artist-centric streaming platform works!
Lots of good updates to the Ratio platform over the weekend. Here's my summary from the Ratio.fm Discord:
Ready for the first test month of Ratio.fm to wrap up. Just did some reviews of the payout math and it's all working great. Musicians, we now have a fair way for you to get paid for music streaming!
- Upload a banner image to customize how your page looks - Your upload drafts are saved automatically, come back to them anytime Embed your music on any website with one line of code
For artists: - Your dashboard now shows which tracks and albums are getting the most play, how many paid subscribers are listening, and who's coming back - Add your Instagram, Bandcamp, SoundCloud, and Spotify links, they show up on your public page
- Clicking any track or album in the queue takes you straight to the page - Add any track or album to your queue or play it next with one tap - Install Ratio as an app on your phone (no app store needed — just add to home screen).
For listeners: - Every artist page now shows similar artists so you can keep discovering - Recently played and your favorite albums are front and center when you log in
This is still in it's infancy. Lots of artists jumping on to help me test, and a few helpful subscribers on the platform (THANK YOU). Look at that real payout rate!
We cannot fix 21st-century growth with 20th-century sprawl. My Op-Ed is live in the Business Courier today. We have to stop treating urban planning like a political debate and start treating it like a geometry problem. Read the full piece here: www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/n...
Watched the newest Superman and loved catching all the Cincinnati scenery in Metropolis.
It's a good day to bike to the office. Passed a lot of cars backed up down the hill, and was even faster than my fav #19 bus.
This is an appropriate time to post my fun art piece, recreating Lincoln's portrait from tarnished pennies.
If Ford made an electric Courier (same size and color options from 1975), I would 100% buy one.
Face it Fry: Baseball was as boring as Mom and apple pie. That's why they jazzed it up. Boring! Baseball wasn't... Hm. So they finally jazzed it up?
Just visited NYC earlier this month and the public transit is clean, reliable, and fast. I rode trains, buses, a boat, and a tram. I wish we had this level of transit service in more cities. (tap to ride OMNY is amazing, too)
And it's not like Lyon is a dense, pedestrian city. It's still full of cars. It just has a lot less traffic than Cincinnati, because it has more options.
