Mp3teca: Architecture, Usability, and Legal Framework of a Digital Music Archive

Part 2: The Dark Age (2010–2020) – Did Streaming Kill the Mp3teca?

With the rise of Spotify, the Mp3teca was declared dead. Why store files when you can stream 80 million songs for the price of a coffee?

For a decade, streaming dominated. "Owning" music seemed archaic. However, the cracks began to show:

  1. The Rotation Problem: Music disappears from streaming platforms due to licensing deals. Your favorite soundtrack might vanish overnight.
  2. The Internet Dependency: You cannot listen to your streaming library on a transatlantic flight or in a remote area without paying for premium offline slots that expire.
  3. The Algorithm Cage: Streaming prioritizes what is popular, not what you own. Your Mp3teca doesn't judge you for listening to the same sad song 400 times.

Abstract

Mp3teca is a digital music platform designed for the organization, storage, streaming, and downloading of MP3 audio files. This paper examines its technical architecture, user interface design, database management, metadata handling, and compliance with digital copyright laws. Through a system analysis approach, we identify strengths in offline accessibility and lightweight deployment, alongside challenges in rights management and scalability. Recommendations include implementing robust Digital Rights Management (DRM) alternatives and blockchain-based licensing.
