- The Musidex is a physical music library designed to complement streaming services by providing a tangible collection of favorite albums.
- It features album art, metadata, and QR codes linking to streaming platforms, with an NFC tag for easy playback.
- Two versions were created: Musidex I (personal use, randomized, one album per artist) and Musidex II (for dad, genre-sorted, multiple albums per artist).
- Challenges included music curation, matching iTunes albums to streaming services, and manual assembly.
- Future ideas include adapting the concept for movies (Mediadex), books (Bookdex), or other digital collections.
- The project highlights the intersection of digital and physical curation, offering a creative solution for music lovers.
