Streaming music sucks. It might seem weird but I don't like it. The first music I ever 'owned' myself personally were songs I taped off the radio. After that I started pirating music the same way I would collect songs on the radio, after that I started buying CD's, today I buy songs and albums from artists and producers directly. Building playlists on a streaming service is not the same as building a music collection…
Just sounds like a whole load of "these kids are ruining what used to be the good old times". Of course, I also think music from back in the day was better, but I am also aware that its just a matter of taste and our tastes are molded by prevailing business-social pressures as ours was back in the day. If music appreciation sucks today it can be blamed more on the music industry and their idol manufacturing pipeline…
Re: Streaming Is Stalling: Can Music Keep Up in the Attention Economy?
#211Reread your and the previous post. You make hardly a point towards it. What is new with streaming is that music is much faster produced, consumed and forgotten. Streaming is part of the Problem. You cannot expect capitalist in the industry to step back and prefer quality over quantity and the streaming industry neither. As long there is cash on the table some one will grab it. Actually everyone is part of the problem from consumer to artist. It's just the question whether you perceive it as problem or not.
