DTube seems to work fine for us so far, but a dedicated music platform that worked would be the best.
@xtetrahedron voiced earlier today in a different comment thread here on Steemit how he would be interested in taking part of building a new music streaming dApp interfaced with the Steem blockchain and make it work like regular users expect from a 2018 music streaming website; if some other people are interested to join in on the project... 😶
We need more of this sentiment and a deep focus on the essence of what Steemit can help us accomplish here and beyond. I find it absolutely important that new social media networks follow the fundamentals set in by legacy web platforms like Youtube and Reddit in order to smoothen the transition of populations. Initially, this will signal more of a mainstream audience, as well as catch on to a rising group of content creators emerging in the increasingly accessible technologic ecosystem.
More people are spending time online, either actively communicating or passively consuming media, such as with popular online streaming music services that tie the listening experience now across multiple environments where consumers exist. People are flocking to cultivated media channels like Youtube is for video and Instagram is for mobile images, content creators (read: developers) must establish first contact in public forum-private company relationship.
As for sources like @sndbox and @creativecrypto, I envision a link between visual arts and technology. Much similar to music, since the advent of the Internet, all other forms of media have been in a sort of identity crisis, a schism between the creators and the company has now split the convention of royalties and copyrights on its head. How do we maintain the integrity of such property? Why should art be protected? Is it for history, for humanity, or something else? Hopefully, as more people from all walks of life can plug into the concept of cryptocurrency will more mean of increasing its utility abroad many capital needs in the so-called real world. Virtually, anyone who makes decisions in life must be an artist; at the least, those who are hard working must remain inspired.
