Pink Floyd - The Wall

C)
Definitely a big thumbs up. I use Spotify to build playlists and listen to the suggested recommendations. Also go through all genres now and listen to 'popular playlists' and 'new fresh artists.' Targeted advertising in Facebook has been interesting and lets you know what concerts are up and coming in your area and lets you hear snippets of their music. e.g. Postmoderm Jukebox - Dream On. Accessibility is the key to success and definitely a winning formula for all.

3. Someone new - Hozier

B. Album

C.  Music is easier to access today as you can add any song to your playlist online. This is a benefit as you can listen to it anytime, anywhere. However, this can be a downfall too as music isn't as exciting. I think music was appreciated more when it wasn't so easily available. I think there is something special about going out to buy music or waiting for an album to release. Especially vinyl's and CD's. They were something people collected and appreciated because of the art covers etc...

C) I believe these sites have impacted the music industry both positively and negatively. Some could argue streaming is convenient as you have your music available to listen at any time and place, this allows people to listen more often and share with others. It also helps smaller artists get discovered and some older artists, rediscovered. However, the sites take a percentage of the revenue and are taking business away from radio and record stores.

C) The digitalisation of music has allowed artists to reach audiences all over the world, gaining exposure for artists and allowing fans to discover more music from their favourite artists. Although the digitalisation of music through online sites such as Spotify and iTunes has contributed to the decline of physical forms of music such as vinyl and cd. It has also caused there to be no need for radio or tv music such as MTV. The digitalisation of music has allowed music to become more accessible yet it has taken away from the meaningfulness of owning a physical album or the excitement of hearing a song on the radio for the first time.

B. Album- Abbey Road- The Beatles.

C. I feel as though the impact has been very much positive. Sites such as Spotify and Apple Music make music more accessible than ever. With in-app features such as 'enhanced playlists' which allows users to listen to similar artists in the same genre. As well as this, Spotify and Amazon Music can create playlists based on what you have listened to and introduced you to different genres and styles. Not only are these sites used for music, but they will have detailed information about artists and their upcoming tours or album releases. Overall, it is benefitted many artists and help music reach so many people.

C- Online music has massively impacted the music business.

It has posed many problems for all people working in music, by enabling music piracy to reach new levels, and making it very hard to shut down.

Due to the amount of artists now online, it has also made it harder for artists dot stand out in music.

C) It has led to the rise of the industry as more people are able to access music on streaming platforms if they are willing to pay the price. However, the industry has fallen as the appreciation for music has seen a steady decline in the social media age as we are so overwhelmed with new and ever changing music that we don't often get the opportunity to appreciate an artists work unless we take great interest in them personally.

C) Streaming music has undoubtedly led to a substantial drop in the music industry, mainly how one of the main ways of artists gaining income has now been severely cut, that being CD sales as now people can just listen to songs for free essentially. With profits for listens on platforms like Spotify being practically pennies unless you’re a highly acclaimed and established artist already. CDs and vinyl's are now more of a collectible for hardcore fans now more than anything rather than something the average consumer is likely to invest in if they wanted to listen to a particular song.

C) The music industry has completely changed due to streaming. It has affected many artists as many of the streaming platforms don't give enough money to the artists per stream and there is very little way for smaller artists to survive this way. Record labels have also been affected as the sale of physical copies has fell drastically and this was the artists and labels main source of income. Streaming is an incredible resource for the listeners but can be difficult for the artists to appreciate.

The rise of online music sites such as Spotify has led to a decrease in physical media being consumed (for instance CD'S) and has harmed musicians as streaming platforms such as Spotify don't pay artists fairly. However, the rise of music platforms has also led to an increase in people listening to music, as it has become more accessible.

The base idea sounds beneficial and should be but it's the inner workings and ideas that cause the downfall of the industry. They take too much from the artist themself to make it a real benefit to them but it's so popular to stream that they have to use it to find an audience and keep them.

C ) I use Spotify as my main source to listen to music as it’s so easy and I would certainly struggle without it. It’s certainly much easier for fans to access than traditional ways of accessing music and I would say it helps broaden a lot of people’s music taste and knowledge with Spotify recommendations along with the new smart shuffle feature.

It allows you to listen to music very easily and at any time, but at the expense of the artists getting barely anything from it. As well as this it has contributed to making all music sound boring as it can feel like every song is the same, it's harder for smaller artists to get their songs streamed and even when they are they get little to nothing from it. Still use it though.

Although streaming platforms allow for easier access to all different genres of music, it also creates an over saturation of music. The modern Top 10 doesn't represent the opinions of everyone anymore. We couldn't have a Top Of The Pops today, as there is too many new artists for there to be songs that everyone agrees on. However without sites like Spotify and Soundcloud, many small artists would have never reached bigger audiences.

C) I feel like Spotify and other streaming services for music has made it easier to access and find music, rather than buying the physical media. I also feel like it can make it easier to listen to albums when they have just came out, however, some artists don’t get properly paid by some streaming services, which makes it hard for them to make a living.

C) In my opinion, music streaming platforms such as Spotify and Amazon Music have promoted the music industry. They give the public the ability to listen to their favourite music whenever and wherever. These platforms also have an incredibly wide range of music which may engage members of the public who would otherwise not have been interested.

3. It has definitely proven beneficial. With the rise of a digital age, it would make sense that people demand their music to be more convenient. We're living in an age of productive laziness. It's also given way for artists to rise to stardom with a couple tracks, as opposed to a accumulating an impressive discography over the course of a very arduous career. Along with the convenience, that can also extend to how convenient it makes it for people to access music nowadays, whether it be from their phones as opposed to through cassettes, music discs, etc.

C)

For the average person trying to listen to music, streaming platforms have been helpful and has made it significantly easier to listen to a more varied selection of music. For smaller artists, growing in popularity has became easier as rather than somebody having to pay for a physical copy or hear their music on the radio etc, they can now listen to them without any trouble. However for many artists there is now a pressure to earn more money outside of streaming because there isn't enough money being made through streams, causing more artists to increase live prices or vinyl/CD prices.

C. I think personally steaming services have done a great deal for both artists and the music industry especially over the past 10 years.

I think music streaming is a plus as it allowed music to become more accessible as you are able to add most songs to your playlist online. You are also able to download the music from the internet giving you the ability to listen to it anytime, anywhere. On the other hand music has lost its appreciation factor. Due to how music is so widely accessible today it was more appreciated when you weren't able to take music everywhere. Furthermore due to the music being accessible on the internet over time it's taken away the business from radio and also things like record stores.

c) Streaming has dramatically changed the way we listen to music—We can listen to what we want, when we want, without paying for physical media or downloading files. While this has allowed artists to reach more listeners than ever, it has also meant that artists and labels, especially small artists and labels, are making much less money as platforms like Spotify and Apple Music pay literal pennies for thousands o

C) Online streaming services have allowed the music industry as a whole to grow in a way never seen before. no longer is music only accessible to those who are able to purchase physical copies. all music is on demand wherever people are. this ease of access has seen the music industry expand through exciting new fusions of genres and constant album releases. the huge size of the industry now makes music creation one of the most sought after careers. The downside however is that these services often let artists down financially, meaning some don't have the capabilities of releasing as much music as the would want to. These services also promote a Friday release day which is profitable for the services themselves as streaming is up on weekends, However some artists like Tyler the creator argue that a weekday release can allow the listener to have a more fulfilling first listen to a new project.

C) As someone who enjoys a variety of music genres (and also access to international bands), I literally would not have the taste in music I have if it wasn't for streaming platforms. I think that it is frustrating that music artists aren't rewarded more but the ability to connect with fans and communities from across the globe is brilliant and will only lead to music industries being more diverse rather than any sort of decline (take how popular K-POP has become globally over the past decade as an example).

C) I feel as though music sites such as Amazon and Spotify have contributed massively to the music industry. Using these music sites makes it much easier to access songs from home and just by the click of a button. These sites also allow to make playlists with different genres of music and artists - this is something you wouldn't get on a vinyl or CD. On the other hand, these sites could damage the music industry slightly. As the joy of going out to the shops to by artists CDs and vinyl's is somewhat tarnished as more and more people will just listen to music on these streaming sites.
