Exploring the means of collaborative music sharing and its alternatives

The bachelor thesis deals with the topic of sharing, streaming and archiving music in the internet environment and the design of a platform that is an alternative to the existing ones. Nowadays, when there are countless streaming services, I miss a space dedicated to music sharing, regardless of the preferences of these particular streaming services, both from the users and the performers. Beyond that, however, I would like to create a space for meaningful archiving and categorization of music with maximum personalization for individual users. In the text, I will therefore describe my own motivations, inspirations, individual features, but also my own experiences with using existing streaming platforms, or tools that are currently widely used, but also those that are less well known and operate on open-source or user-made principles. I then use this experience as a basis for the prototype itself (working name of the prototype - MSP)
