+# Alternative Music Sources Analysis for Telegram MiniApp
+
+## YouTube Status: BLOCKED
+- All anonymous methods blocked by bot detection
+- Requires authentication/cookies (not suitable for MiniApp)
+
+## SoundCloud Status: LIMITED/BROKEN
+- User mentioned "больше не работает" 
+- SoundCloud has restricted API access
+- Most third-party tools broken in 2024
+
+## Viable Alternatives Analysis:
+
+### 1. Spotify (via spotify-web-api-node)
+- **Pros**: Huge library, stable API, good search
+- **Cons**: 30-second previews only, no full tracks
+- **Use case**: Preview/discovery only
+- **API Status**: Active, requires client credentials
+
+### 2. Bandcamp
+- **Pros**: Artists upload full tracks, no restrictions on many songs
+- **Cons**: Smaller library, mostly indie artists
+- **Use case**: Full downloads of free/pay-what-you-want tracks
+- **API Status**: Limited but functional
+
+### 3. Archive.org (Internet Archive)
+- **Pros**: Large collection, no restrictions, full downloads
+- **Cons**: Older/obscure content, variable quality
+- **Use case**: Classic/rare music, full downloads
+- **API Status**: Stable, no authentication needed
+
+### 4. Jamendo
+- **Pros**: Creative Commons music, full downloads
+- **Cons**: Smaller library, mostly unknown artists
+- **Use case**: Background music, royalty-free content
+- **API Status**: Active, simple REST API
+
+### 5. Free Music Archive (FMA)
+- **Pros**: Curated free music, good quality
+- **Cons**: Limited library
+- **Use case**: Legal free music downloads
+- **API Status**: Available but limited
+
+## Recommendation for MiniApp:
+1. **Primary**: Archive.org - largest free collection
+2. **Secondary**: Jamendo - for newer CC music  
+3. **Tertiary**: Bandcamp - for indie discoveries
+4. **Fallback**: Show YouTube links with instructions
+
+## Implementation Priority:
+1. Start with Archive.org (easiest, largest)
+2. Add graceful error handling for YouTube
+3. Consider Jamendo as second source
