Today I spent a few hours with the web designer working on Steemsongs (please follow @steemsongs).
As well as functionality to allow any artist to display their releases and charge a certain amount of SBD/Steem per release we also hope to display any posts from that artist/band that fall within the last 7 days. Your vested Steem Power will also allow you to own the music by simply up voting a determined number of a particular artists posts.
This project is designed for fun and to provide a way for people to spend their Steem and SBD without cashing out to other currencies. To that end we plan to distribute 100% of earnings back to the artists.
To help @Steemsongs monetise we will post features on artists that have uploaded music to the site. This leaves the artist free to create their own posts and sell their own music without us taking a cut.
If you would like to sign up for updates visit http://www.steemsongs.com
If you are an artist or potential user please follow @steemsongs
Any thoughts or ideas please comment below.
Idea: a way to be able to upvote to own?
I DON'T know if this is a feature yet, but it would be cool if you could upvote a certain percentage according to your SP, so that way you can keep your SBD. The artist still gets paid, and the music is pretty much still as free as streaming services.
IDK just an idea.
I plan to use this service, so definitely keep me updated.

I agree but it is a much later step that will be an add on. It's not core functionality. It might even better for Steemsongs content to be represented by a third party licensing company... will think more on this.

We are getting ready to do a wide launch of the Steemit Local Music Society on Discord, which will hopefully be the one umbrella for all things Steemit-original music content. We would love for you to be a part of our team, and could potentially accommodate your project within the server channel however you would like it accommodated, as well.
Please get in touch with me on Discord or Steemit.chat and let's talk. Big things are in the works to unify the musical communities across all genres, we have a great team of folks working on the project.
