@jamesmarshall Thank you!
We are in close contact with both listeners and musicians in our local area (in fact, we have both in our development team). Our vision is to let them decide which should be the best payment equilibrium and provide the tools to do it.
The ability of purchase music to download is something that we have already discussed, although we are in a very early stage of the development and it will be shaped by the needs of the community!
@fbulow Hi!
There has not been a debate on that, but there is not any plan in the roadmap to support audio files DRM from the player.
Hi! Thanks!
For now, we are focusing in maturing a responsive web app. So an API is not in the early road, although new features will arise from the community needs.

The approach we propose is that artist hosts their music so they retain high degree of control, keeping very low resource-demanding the player so it has not to scale much and making core mutual consent.
We are promoting a lot of contacts between listeners and artists in our local ecosystem in order to reach a fair rewards system that is adequate for everyone.

Hi!
License is defined by each artist. Our music local ecosystem has a complex mixture of different licenses and we want to remain inclusive here.
This doesn't mean that free culture should not be promoted. Fairplayer is free software and can be installed by anyone. One could host a fairplayer that only accepted music with free licenses (and probably this make a lot of sense).
Hi! Thanks a lot!
We are not working on it specifically although we have them on the radar. Our idea is to work together with the decentralized musical ecosystem (some of it we are already in contact) towards standardized protocols.
We believe in cooperation rather than competition and we want to take special care on creator's consent.
Hi!
Thanks for your support! 
Your question points to a very relevant aspect. We want to implement tools to reward artists in the next steps.
We are organizing our local ecosystem in order to generate debate between listeners and artists to reach a fair system. Our idea is to give the tools to adapt to the needs of each community.
Our vision is that, in the end, both control and responsibility of sustainability should be on artists but also listeners.
We are thrilled to announce the public availability of Fairplayer for Faircamp, the first step in our vision of a #decentralized #music platform.
After a few months of building, and the generous help of artists who have participated in our trial period, https://fairplayer.band is open to the world. If you are an artist that has a #Faircamp site, or someone wanting to listen to music from independent artists, come and tell us what you think!
Special thanks to @radisolar @blankfosk @helenbellmusic @maciac @sofisoft @kidlightbulbs @aymanhamad @laribal @txels @james @Omar @choan who have already contributed their music in this very early stage!
