Introduction The transition from physical media (cassettes, CDs) to streaming and download platforms has transformed how Hindi music audiences discover artists. Unlike Western platforms that emphasize algorithmic recommendations, many Hindi-focused webmusic sites retain a library catalog model —including the “A to Z Artist Collection.” This feature lists singers, composers, and lyricists alphabetically, allowing users to browse all available tracks by a given artist.

Digital Media Studies / Music Information Retrieval Abstract The digitization of Hindi film and non-film music has led to the emergence of curated online collections that prioritize user-friendly navigation. One notable organizational scheme is the “A to Z Artist Collection,” commonly featured on webmusic portals. This paper investigates the structure, usability, and cultural implications of alphabetically sorted Hindi music artist collections. Using Webmusic.in as a primary reference (circa 2015–2025), the study analyzes how alphabetization affects discoverability, reinforces or disrupts canonical hierarchies, and serves the linguistic diversity of Hindi music listeners. Findings suggest that while A-to-Z indexing improves access for novice users, it also obscures relational metadata (e.g., collaborations, gharanas) and privileges certain spelling conventions (Devanagari transliteration). The paper concludes with recommendations for hybrid classification systems. Title: Digital Archiving and Retrieval Patterns in Hindi
