Itunestify -

The digital music landscape has undergone two paradigm shifts: the iTunes model of permanent file ownership (2003–2014) and the Spotify model of temporary streaming access (2014–present). This paper introduces the concept of iTunestify —a theoretical framework representing the technical, behavioral, and economic synthesis of these two systems. Through a comparative analysis of DRM, local file management, playlist culture, and revenue models, we argue that iTunestify is not a single product but a dialectical resolution where users demand the tangibility of ownership with the convenience of streaming. The paper concludes with a prototype for a hybrid service and evaluates its feasibility.
