Irish start-up Minm provides an alternative streaming music model

It's early days for the service, but the founders hope the user-centric payment model will attract artists and punters alike

While streaming giants like Spotify aren’t going away any time soon - even in the wake of the furore around the Joe Rogan podcast, and long-standing questions on fair payments for artists - some listeners are looking for new ways to enjoy music. 

Belfast-based streaming start-up Minm hope to provide one. Emerging late last year, the service is based on the user-centric payment model, where subscription fees are split evenly among artists, depending on a user’s listening habits.
