FOSS doesn't mean that you can't be paid for it... Maybe you meant that copyright needs a lot of money and so does building a streaming service
That's true. However, FOSS usually means that it's free (F) and open-source (OS). Music isn't usually open source - they don't usually share the sheet music or allow free editing/covering/forking of the music. So the worlds don't completely mesh. You can look at a FOSS solution for managing music, but you won't find a ton of FOSS music.
