Why can't the music come in?

Recently, many music lovers have discovered that some music platforms or songs suddenly cannot be played, which has triggered widespread discussions. This article will analyze the reasons from three dimensions: technology, copyright and policy, and sort out the hot topics and hot content on the entire network in the past 10 days to help readers understand this phenomenon.

1. Popular music-related topics on the Internet in the past 10 days

2. Three major reasons why music cannot be accessed

1. Copyright agreement expires

According to data, music copyright disputes will increase by 35% year-on-year in 2023. Some platforms have not renewed their contracts in time, resulting in songs being removed from the shelves, especially the works of leading artists such as Jay Chou and Taylor Swift.

2. Concentrated outbreak of technical failures

There has been a surge in music app crash reports in the past week. The main problems include:

• Server overload (42% of failures)
• API interface changes (accounting for 28%)
• CDN node abnormality (accounting for 15%)

3. Regulatory policy adjustments

The Ministry of Culture recently issued the "New Regulations on Digital Music Content Review", requiring platforms to strengthen review of the following content:

• Unregistered overseas musical works
• Songs with sensitive lyrics
• Infringing cover version

3. User response plan

4. Opinions of Industry Experts

Music industry analyst Zhang Ming pointed out: "The music copyright market is undergoing structural adjustments in 2023, and platforms will need to pay higher copyright fees, which will lead to:

• The size of the free music library has been reduced by 30%-40%
• VIP membership prices may increase
• Increase in self-made content on the platform"

5. Forecast of future trends

Based on current data, the next three months are expected to see:

• More small and medium-sized platforms merge or exit the market
• Exclusive copyright agreement reshuffled
• Hi-Fi music subscription services are growing rapidly

It is recommended that users pay attention to official announcements, back up important playlists in a timely manner, and consider diversifying the use of multiple music platform services to reduce risks.
