Digital media is changed the music industry by changing the way people listen and buy music.
The music industry had not been the same since digital media became popular. I believe the takeover began when Napster allowed users download music online. Instead of embracing a new way to sell music, the music industry battled and lost the war. With advancements in technology with the iPhone, Galaxy, Tablets and Smartwatches listening to music has become more convenient for users.
Digital Media has changed the way we listen to music. Consumers now want technology that allows users to access an unlimited amount of music at anytime Streaming music is popular on Pandora because it allows users to stream music of their favorite artist and artist who are similar for free. Users can create a playlist based on what they like. I learned about Pandora when a co-worker was listening to music at her desk. At the time I did not have a device that could hold a lot of music and she encouraged me to sign-up for Pandora. Pandora used to help me get my work done. When I felt like I was getting tired and another song that I like would play.
Digital media is changing the way people buy music. CD’s and cassettes take-up too much space and are out dated. The innovation of the Apple iTunes store allows users to download music at once to all their devices. I remember I needed a Stevie Wonder instrumental and the only place I was able to find and buy it was on iTunes. Other top competitors like Spotify allows users to pay $10 dollars monthly for a subscription to stream from their catalog of over 30 million songs.
The music industry has changed because digital media has changed the way we buy and listen to music.
