I agree to a certain extend. In my development, you may have noticed i am mostly writing about /URL's/ and it is for a reason: there are many very handy solutions for deploying a website, including free ones. The means to do so are not so important in my meaning, what i was trying to underline is the importance to _own_ your /own/ brand. Also i think to the younger generation, html, css, computer graphic-tools and the requirements to build a website come very naturally. But i may be biased by optimism and the talent of the youngsters surrounding me. On a different note, I have the chance to hang around quite a few millennials, and its interesting to see what band-landscape the one-man-and-a-computer situation has generated for them; a band is no longer a group of musicians. It has shifted towards a constellation of: one musician, a camera man, an internet geek, a graphics/fashion designer and a make-up artist. And often, they find a way to all have something to do on stage during live-shows. And often they interchange roles for different projects. Basically, each member in the "band" is bringing a set of skills to push the music out there. And often the music is just one element of the hole packaging. Good music alone is oftentimes not alone. This, i think, is partially what generates the impression that jonetsu describes in OP: On 2016-02-10 01:37, jonetsu@xxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > (I have the impression that some attention a file may gather has > nothing to do with the music). Indeed, it is also about the packaging, the stance of the "gang" around it, the visuals, the dressing-codes. But it isn't the sole reason, of course. So, basically, i'm not saying the right way is to become the king/queen of web-publishing, i'm saying, you should own your brand. And find solutions that fit to this model and suits you, be it collaborative solutions, or tools that enable you to have a website without being a programmer. This makes me want to push for the solution that Urs Fleischer, the creator of kid3 provided to us, i might have posted it before. This software is a GUI to tag your audio-files according to the current standards: http://kid3.sourceforge.net/ it includes a set of exporting tools, that allows you to generate a static site (static, hence deplloying is drag and drop to your web folder). Combined with this script that he wrote and i layed-out: https://github.com/Sakrecoer/kid3HTML5 You basically have a one-click web-publishing tool. And its not the first nor the last one of these tools that we are going to see, coming from the freesoftware community. I know Zirafa from http://www.pushtape.com/ is working on an amazing solution as i type.
