There's nothing "freedom" about Wavlake. You could maybe say "it's the crypto version of Spotify," that would come much closer. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzq0mhp4ja8fmy48zuk5p6uy37vtk8tx9dqdwcxm32sy8nsaa8gkeyqyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcpzahx7um5wgkkjerz8ghj7cmpvd5x2ttjv4kxz7gqyq3gkumy7srvgnq0ez0022jcq30yye0my2h27ay2sfhjpnlurz6ux6k37t2
In order to appear on wavlake's platform you must host your content on their servers, use their custodial wallet services and agree to their terms of service. The alternative would be to host an rss feed and music files on literally any server, use any lightning address or lightning node of your choice, and agree to no terms if you want actual "freedom" in terms of music hosting.
"You're almost describing the Fountain app" Fountain has an option for custodial wallets, but they have surfaced my self-hosted music in their app from the time it was published in 2021, and they respect my value tag which points to self-run lightning nodes owned by the artists. They do not force you into their wallets in order to appear in their app, and they do not force you to use their proprietary wallets as an artist. You have the *freedom* to choose. So that's a pretty big "almost".
No, it pulls all available music feeds from the Podcast index

That shows up in Fountain because Wavlake puts it on a RSS feed and has nothing to do with Nostr. They both have Nostr now but it's worked this way via RSS the whole time. Here's Bitcoin Amigos in PodcastGuru that has zero Nostr features. https://image.nostr.build/2fa256456038d98ec881b876f0567145cd151c23c7ebdc2391b88150d5f1a96c.jpg
