MusicZen on Flattr

I recently wrote about Flattr and how I came to it. I love this idea of micro donations. To me, it is somewhat related to microfinance (except you do not have to pay it back), which is what Kiva.org is all about — and as you probably know, I am a big fan of Kiva.

As a contributor and developer, I benefit from the ability to give and receive support from others who make products and share them with the world. MusicZen was built as a result of this. I gathered information and resources provided by many different people and organizations from all over the world and simply put it together to create the product you see today. Of course it helps to have some programming experience, but still, I just read numerous blogs and articles and used various frameworks and libraries built by different people. This is what made it happen.

Because of this, I have signed up with Flattr. I think it creates a simple process to give and receive, and who does not like when things are simple.

MusicZen is now part of the Flattr catalog to allow visitors an easy way to contribute to it. It also allows me to contribute back to the great work other developers have done that made this little app possible.

If you decide to Flattr MusicZen, I will send you the portable files for the latest version as a sincere thank you. You can use these files to run MusicZen anywhere you like — from a USB drive, on another computer, or to help a friend organize their scattered mp3 files.

Take care and thank you for visiting.
