Abstract:
Music has been around since the 1800s, providing entertainment to people everywhere, regardless of location. Its technology has since been advancing tremendously, from vinyl records to streaming apps on smartphones. Looking at the new technology, there is artificial intelligence not only assisting artists in their music-writing process but also creating its own, too, and musicians are considering virtual reality as it can let their fans have access to their live music even if they are unable to attend their concerts. Streaming, however, is causing on the biggest uproars in the music industry as consumers prefer to listen to free music rather than buying the actual album, digitally or physically. One journal article looks specifically at the consumers’ decision to illegally download, legally download, stream, and purchasing music in relation to the levels of idol worship. The purpose of this paper is to explore and acknowledge the layers in the streaming industry and why it causes chaos not just the economics in the music industry but also between the different sides – consumers, artists, and companies.
[Might want to mention Spotify, Napster, YouTube, Economics/Business, and labels]
For My SlideDeck:
I updated what I wanted to add, but I need to figure out what images and quotes to add to the slide deck. As for the title, I had these 2 in mind:
Streaming through the Digital Era: The Uproar in the Music Industry
Free Streaming is Music to the Ears
I am thinking of a way to mash these two together.
For my Website Development, I will be cleaning everything up a little more, add what is necessary, and include other multimodal things that will make the website aesthetically pleasing. (lol) My abstract is in the process of cutting and adding, so I will continue to work on that.
