Voise VSM recently had their ICO and it is quite a success they are also a decentralized music streaming/sharing platform,

What could be the difference/advantages of Opus to them and other music related crypto?

[poiseulle]

Decent project
It seems team has some Chinese, but in case you need Chinese translation. PM me.

[OnTheMoon]

Another streaming music platform, Opus, and why not. The more competition there is in this area, the better for both the musicians themselves and listeners.

Sorry to say this, but to call Voise VSM a decentralized music sharing platform is completely incorrect; They they store everything on their central server.

1.Voise raised their money with no product.
Opus is 3 steps ahead. We raised a round of VC funding this January, and now we have a working beta and a demonstrable product.

2. Voise, Is simply a coin that can only be used on their website. That's it
Opus is an entire music sharing infrastructure. We use IPFS and Ethereum such that all songs and metadata data are stored decentrally and rapidly on the IPFS swarm and Ethereum.
We are also going to release APIs for third party player developers to create their own Opus players, ensuring decentralize in every aspect of the stack.

If you have more questions regarding the technical development, check our Github or ask us on our slack: http://slack.opus-foundation.org/

Like you said , OPUS is better than Voise,you have a beta product. I am ready to involve in the ico.

[Vaniaayu]

[pamsugas]

Thank you for the kind words. Our team has been working on this for a long time now and we intend to flesh out our working beta and scale. We are dreamers and we want to take on the giants of Spotify and Apple music, just like how they have taken over the $40Billion traditional music recording industry.

Exciting times!

[Coinologist]

Looks very promising.  I'm researching further and subscribing.

[tippytoes]

Let's see if this one will survive the crypto world as they already have the working beta unlike other similar projects. And by the way, I like how the translation bounty is being handled here - only professional translators are allowed.  Normally, it's first come first served basis and a lot of times they are poorly translated because of utilizing the google translate. With that being said, my impression is that, this project is pretty serious as they want their work to be translated in a professional manner and not just a second-rate piece of work.

Music again, I'm also a bit interested in music-based coins,
At least i will buy some

This planning is very waiting on waiting by the small singers who do not have the capital to end the music they create ... I hope this plan can run as much as possible and can help the little musical like us

[reserter]

I think this project is very good, and I follow twitter campaign.

[sinner]

decentralized music sharing has already been solved.. BitTorrent.

While Opus will benefit small artists the most, It will also be beneficial to bigger artists. Our ultimate goal is go mainstream and so we will target all aspects of the industry as well as we can.

As the saying goes. The best systems are where the user doesn't even realize the underlying infrastructure running the system. That is our ultimate goal.
