Great question! Yes, though I'm trying to avoid holding funds for users, which makes an "account balance" feature more complex to implement. It may make sense in the future, just not now. Currently anyone can stream the music without paying, so there's no need for a wallet balance to listen. Using WebLN wallets like Alby with the site give a pretty close version of an "account balance" feature, though, as far as sending payments goes.

I would like to make it easier for listeners to tip artists in the future, it's just a matter of figuring out the best ways to do it.

Have you considered adding an “account balance” feature? So I could top up my Wallace balance and stream on auto play?

Currently the sign-in is just so the first group of test artists can upload tracks. Down the road it will enable some features for listeners, just not yet. I do hope to enable lnurl-auth.
