True or False? Having constant, unlimited access to music through streaming platforms like Spotify can make it feel less special or meaningful. If true, do you think owning music on Web3 platforms can strengthen your personal connection to the artist and their songs?

I don't think that owning music is relevant anymore, in general. Owning music on web3 platforms does not work so far because there is no decent way to display what you own, which is a big part of owning things on web3. Also, big artists who experimented with fractional ownership through NFTs abandoned that idea quickly. Music fans simply don't care that much, and tbh why should they go through all of the hoops of tokenization?

This is def low hanging fruit, especially for someone that is willing to do an amazing job at curating the high quality music that currently exists onchain. Im not ready to accept that owning music is no longer relevant. People still buy in physical fomat. With digital we need to figured out how to recreate that sense of meaning, presence, and permanence

Unfortunately, the people who still buy in physical format (vinyl basically) are the last people who will ever be onboarded to web3. Also, I don't see why curation is so important. People are perfectly capable of curating music themselves. But OK, it's not really an issue for me. So even if someone curates etc. you basically have tokenized playlists. What is the web3 advantage over web2 here? As someone who has been in the music industry 20+ years, I am totally ok with accepting that owning music is no longer relevant. It's not my preference, but I am OK with it.
