I'm thinking about a system where people who want to help fund music production, but don't want to own physical product, can gift records and other physical media releases to DJs.

The DJs would register in the system with a list of genres they like to own, and maybe a list of their existing collection. Music fans can pay for records and choose which DJ to have them delivered to. The DJ can keep or regift them, to other DJs.

If so, I'm not the first to think of it;

There are a few.

I have no recommendations

A federated music server that bands could post to is an intriguing idea
