How should we view the copyright exchange issue between Alibaba Music and Tencent Music?

Due to song copyright issues, I have installed five or six music players on my phone, which makes me very unhappy as an obsessive-compulsive disorder patient who does not need to repeat apps. I am a very early user of NetEase Cloud. I have been using it since about 2013. At that time, it was still a niche software. I like the UI very much, so I use it till now. But now, due to the issue of copyright division, we often have to open several music software at the same time and switch between listening. I feel that as we get further into the future, the design and product functions of all apps will become similar. Those who can win the most cities still need to return to resources. For a user like me who relies very little on private FM recommendations and never opens the comment area, my biggest need is to be able to listen to the songs I want to listen to. In the past, I switched between QQ Music, NetEase Cloud Music, and Xiami. Later, I downloaded Kuwo Music in order to listen to the lossless version of "China Has Hip Hop". To be honest, I was a little surprised by the usage experience. The resources are basically covered, including some niche music, and the lossless sound quality is also very suitable for headphone enthusiasts like me.

The copyright sublicensing between Tencent Music and Alibaba Music will enrich and improve the already strong music resource library of both parties. On Weibo, the official accounts of both parties also made intimate statements. Kuwo Music, another major music product under Tencent, also launched an event on Weibo to listen to Mayday with Kuwo, announcing the full release of Mayday, Li Zongsheng, SHE and other songs, and also became popular on Weibo. . This copyright transfer is indeed a great thing for fans such as Li Zongsheng and Mayday. To be honest, from the perspective of a paying user, of course I hope that copyright barriers can be broken down between platforms. For example, if I become a member of several platforms at the same time, I have to pay three or four times the membership fee every month. Hear the music you want to hear. This experience can be said to be a pain point for users. The best solution is, of course, to be able to listen to all the music they want to listen to on one platform. And some platforms have removed many songs due to copyright restrictions. In other words, even if I become a member, there are still many songs that I cannot listen to after paying. As more and more songs are removed from the shelves, the APP will be used less frequently.

When it comes to resources, we still have to obey Tencent. Basically, many of the latest music albums can be obtained as soon as possible. For someone like me who pursues listening to multiple versions of a song, this is the most demanding requirement. Tencent's QQ Music, Kuwo Music, and Kugou Music all have sufficient basic resource libraries. Because of my personal usage habits, I use Kuwo more now. The lossless sound quality and almost all searchable resources are so easy to use. This sub-licensing of copyrights by Alibaba and Tencent is a huge blow to NetEase Cloud. If NetEase Cloud Music cannot solve this big problem, it is estimated that many users will be lost. But for a user, this should be considered good news. Users follow the product experience. Whichever company can provide the best quality products and the most complete resources will be the largest market occupier.
