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?

This is why record stores came back in a big way in the 2010’s. I’m just old enough to remember CD and cassette players. For most of my childhood we had mp3 players. I have been a Spotify user since high school and was a very early user (it’s changed a LOT). But I also started listening to/collecting vinyl around the same time that I joined Spotify. I missed owning music, and missed the mix tapes and CD’s of my childhood. Vinyls were something I hadn’t ever used but felt like magic to me when I first heard the warm clear audio of a nice turntable. Don’t get me wrong, streaming was meaningful bc it meant I could share and discover more music than ever. But physical music was meaningful in a different way and still is. The children yearn for physical media, but they also yearn to show off their collections online: I think the NFT should come with physical media and part of a way to share and view collections. that’s my 2 cents.

I also like the idea of doing both digital and physical. Web3 can make this work better than streaming because you can own a unique, verifiable version of the music and other content the artist bundles, not just access it. I think there’s an opportunity to add levels of exclusivity and connection that streaming can’t provide. I’d also like to see Web3 platforms try to replicate the nostalgia of curating and sharing personalized music collections, just like those mixtapes we used to burn and trade with our friends. Songcamp's C4 collection comes to mind here https://songcamp.mirror.xyz/sPUIKHh37ZnTD2yK_vSwuhX-PiEr89ZS7fFnuQY6lzg
