I'm hopeful for this! I'd be happy to pay for music if the price is reasonable and I know it's going to the artists and not some dumb record label.

There's no way an open source market platform would work. But if it does, then I'll be amazed.
How come? 'Cause there's no advertising budget?
No, it's because of the community itself.
@P4ulin_Kbana if you are talking of a "platform" your are thinking thinks still form a central point of view.
Think more decentral here
Think of e.g. a lot of connected woocommerce instances and you get an idea of how a decentralized open source market "platform" could work.
decentralized server wide search and login has to work - that's it

This pages are a demo site by allmendenetz.de for demonstrating how Faircamp - a static site generator for audio producers - and Hubzilla - a CMS for the Fediverse - can work together as one system to present music in a network like the Fediverse.
By the decentralized Fediverse network millions of attendees have the option to get in contact with you, follow and commend your music releases and read all your news without depending on a single network provider.
With Faircamp it is quid easy to generate beautiful looking webpages on your pc for presenting your audio files in the internet.
With Hubzilla audio producer get the option to host this webpages easy on the web and in the Fediverse so that also a combination with your personal network news channel can be easy realized. Also they get the option to distributed files with a fine graded permissions system of Hubzilla. So not every thing has to be public and e.g. special downloads can be granted just to selected contacts and also connect to the Hubzilla shop app.
In an ideal case an audio producer would install such a system under an own domain but also the option to host several artists under one hub URL may be interesting for some.
