Streaming Music examines how the Internet has become integrated in
contemporary music use, by focusing on streaming as a practice and
a technology for music consumption. The backdrop to this enquiry is
the digitization of society and culture, where the music industry
has undergone profound disruptions, and where music streaming has
altered listening modes and meanings of music in everyday life. The
objective of Streaming Music is to shed light on what these
transformations mean for listeners, by looking at their adaptation
in specific cultural contexts, but also by considering how online
music platforms and streaming services guide music listeners in
specific ways. Drawing on case studies from Moscow and Stockholm,
and providing analysis of Spotify, VK and YouTube as popular but
distinct sites for music, Streaming Music discusses, through a
qualitative, cross-cultural, study, questions around music and
value, music sharing, modes of engaging with music, and the way
that contemporary music listening is increasingly part of mobile,
automated and computational processes. Offering a nuanced
perspective on these issues, it adds to research about music and
digital media, shedding new light on music cultures as they appear
today. As such, this volume will appeal to scholars of media,
sociology and music with interests in digital technologies.
