Digital Ownership Crisis: Music Disappearing From Libraries

Published on 09/05/2025 Trend Spotting / Early Adopter Signals

The user's frustration over purchased/streamed music disappearing highlights a significant pain point in digital media ownership. As platforms change licensing agreements or go out of business, consumers lose access to content they believe they 'own.' This creates a strong commercial opportunity for services that guarantee long-term digital ownership (e.g., via blockchain/NFTs for music), or platforms that offer more robust and permanent archiving solutions. Marketing efforts should focus on 'true ownership,' 'never lose your music,' and 'future-proof libraries' to attract disillusioned users from existing platforms.
