Hi! My name is Kirthi and I'm a senior Computer Science Major. I am largely in this class as I need it in order to graduate, but I also think the intersection between computers and media, both traditional and new, is fascinating.

CHALLENGES
There are several challenges I face when consuming and generating the content that I have outlined above. For one, older Filmi music is difficult to find and often has shady licensing deals, leading to an inconsistent listening experience. Moreover, major listening platforms like Apple Music and Spotify don't even have these kinds of songs on their platform, meaning that they're largely unavailable on these platforms and difficult to access.
