The genre classification nightmare is such a real problem. What's wild is that Spotify and Apple built entirely separate classical apps with proper metadata structures, but distributors still route everything through pop-oriented systems. The HD audio gap makes sense though, most distributors assume their clients are chasing playlists, not audiophiles. Your collective platform angle is interesting but the unit economics are tough if you're not optimizing for scale.

True. The collective ownership has every challenge of market math.
