Whereditgo Public Library
The Public Library is a shared music catalog made of links to people’s own music sites, each one hosted by the artist, not by a single company.

What is The Public Library?
Your archive is your music site, the website that holds your music. The Public Library is a single catalog that links to everyone’s archives. It is a BYOT (bring your own technology) platform: everyone contributes their own part of the infrastructure, creating an autonomy-forward ecosystem that is truly owned by everyone.
How does it work?
You create your own music site (an archive) with a free tool, put it online, then submit that link to the Library. The recommended tool is Faircamp, an open source app by Simon Repp that turns a folder of your music into a simple website.
Each person’s Faircamp archive connects to the Public Library catalog.
Make an account on lib.whereditgo.diamonds, then submit the link to your archive once it’s live. Once approved, your archive appears in the Public Library catalog.
