What is The Public Library?

The Public Library is a federated music streaming platform comprised of individuals who self host their own music archives.

It is a BYOT (bring your own technology) Platform, meaning that everyone contributes their own part of the infrastructure creating a community tapestry that is truly owned by everyone.

How does it work?

The Public Library wraps self hosted instances of music archives. The recommended tool for this is faircamp (Developed by Simon Repp)

Users make an account on lib.whereditgo.diamonds, and submit a link to their personal archive. The archive is then included in the Public Library catalog
