One of my favorite CSNY factoids is that Jerry Garcia played the amazing pedal steel guitar part on "Teach your Children" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teach_Your_Children

Awesome. I’d offer any advice but technically this was pretty straightforward. It’s React, Auth0 (see note), Stripe and Contentful with a few Node services to glue the SaaS pieces together. * So originally we had social auth. We didn’t know how, or if, this would be monetized, but we knew we wanted to force sign up so we used Auth0. When we launched we told to expect 10,000 (maybe) MAU. The weekend we launched we got…
Well we’re aligned on the social media front. I’m working on spinning up a label for managing a personal release, and as part of it want to be able to self host and stream some tracks from releases or singles for free without just linking an easily interceptable mp3 in an audio element. So, mainly inspired from his efforts with Orastream, but of course without infrastructure there. To save myself rambling further, I’…

Yeah OraStream really isn’t that magical it’s based on a spec (I can’t find it right now) that’s basically just a variation of HLS. Audio only HLS with high bitrate renditions with pretty much any encoder (ffmpeg) should work as a pretty straightforward drop in for what OraStream does. Dash should work as well.
Did your team build the player itself as well? The meter for bitrate was a nice touch!

I feel this. One of my favorite artists, Ray LaMontagne, has entire albums that he has apparently (due to essentially rumors and, at some point, wikipedia) worked hard to completely remove from the internet. They're from his early days and a little different in terms of his style and voice, but I never found anything definite about the reasoning. However, these albums have some of my absolutely favorite material of h…
So that's what happened to those. I knew I wasn't completely crazy and that I'd heard and/or "bought" some early Ray LaMontagne music, but last year when I was trying to find it the tracks I was thinking of were nowhere to be seen. Just "Trouble." A guy I knew in high school released seven or eight albums with a co-conspirator and also felt the same way about their early work. Some of it was admittedly a bit rough, b…
