Get yourself a package.json! Then you can simplify your long list of dependencies to just one "npm install".

Am I on the right track by saying this is medium for all different mediums?

As a musician and sometimes songwriter, I think it'd be really cool to be able to share songs in a user-friendly and visually appealing way, like medium does for stories. I imagine a lot of other artistic disciplines would be the same.

Yup. This is kind of medium for all mediums!

- If you don't find the type (or medium) you need, you could create a new type yourself. And if you made a new one for Songs (say with Title, Lyrics, Date and Band name), it becomes available to everyone on the site.

- You could customize a type further with Javascript, which the app executes inside a sandbox. That let's you do, for instance, downloading and attaching a band's picture when someone adds a new song.

package.json is on my todo list. I've been sitting on it for way too long. :)
