Cheap IDM
Cheap IDM is a native NFT album: each edition contains an HTML-based player that retrieves the tracks from IPFS, turning the album into a reproducible software artifact minted on the Tezos blockchain.
What it is
Instead of publishing the album only as audio files on streaming platforms, Cheap IDM treats the release format itself as part of the work.
The album exists as a small web application that assembles and plays the track collection directly from IPFS.
