This week, we caught up on a round of software updates across our apps before falling deep into a big conversation about playlists in the Podcasting 2.0 and value-for-value music world. We talked through new Boost Me Buddy updates like improved favorites navigation, homepage actions, and Android back-button behavior, plus Reed’s latest work on OnlyBoosts and Local Bitcoiners, including GIF support, follows vs. favorites terminology, OPML import/export, recommendations powered by imported podcast data, and some cleanup around failed split retries.The heart of the episode became a working session on playlists: what they are, how RSS-based music playlists fit into the ecosystem, how they can be hosted, discovered, edited, and shared, and where Podcast Index, Nostr, and app interoperability might each play a role. We also got into favorites vs. playlists, discoverability for music and podcasts, and the tradeoffs between keeping things open, portable, and easy for users. We wrapped up by reading boosts, talking about Booster Bot and Music Side Project, and playing “Pork Chops Fried” by The Hey Citizen Experience as a follow-up to last week’s Dorfels track.Checkout Heycitizens music on v4vmusic.comhttps://v4vmusic.com/s/52https://v4vmusic.com/s/262Local Bitcoiners: https://localbitcoiners.com/V4V Music: https://v4vmusic.com/Music Side Project: https://musicsideproject.com/nostr.build: https://nostr.build/Podcasting 2.0: https://podcasting2.org/Homegrown Hits: https://homegrownhits.substack.com/OnlyBoosts: https://onlyboosts.social/
