Fairplayer plays music from a decentralized ecosystem. Artists and communities publish their music on their own websites and link them to a player where the user can listen to them all. Right now, there is only one program for your website that is compatible with Fairplayer: Faircamp. In the future, there will be more options.
So, to upload your music, you need to install a Faircamp, upload your catalog, and connect it to a player like fairplayer.band. If you already have a Faircamp, you just need to add and verify it at fairplayer.band/hub.
Faircamp is a free software program that we don’t develop but that is part of our ecosystem. It is developed by Simon Repp and is an ideal static website generator for sharing an audio catalog on the internet. The public can play your music and browse your posts. There are Faircamps that are for a single artist, and others that are for a community or record label. Each one is hosted on a different web domain and server, but on it’s own, you can’t play music from one on another.
For your music to appear in the player, you need to verify that the website (Faircamp) you’ve connected is yours. This ensures we have your permission to fetch and play your music. To do this, you’ll need to follow the instructions at fairplayer.band/hub. You will need to add a code we provide to the “catalog.eno” file of your faircamp.
It is essential that music uploaded to Fairplayer has the artist’s permission and that of the people who hold the legal rights to each release.
