"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."--Provided by publisher.

"In Streaming Music, Streaming Capital, Eric Drott examines the relationships between music, technology, economy, and culture within the ecosystem of online streaming. Attentive to the way the rise of online platforms has reordered how music is circulated and consumed, Drott offers a Marxist interrogation of capitalism and its relation to music consumption. Drawing on digital sources and economic ephemera as evidence, Drott puts forth an overview of streaming's role within the music industry as a commentary on platform economy and economic power. By interrogating the tensions between streaming's benefits and pitfalls, Drott's work highlights important socioeconomic issues in music's digital ascendency, from accessibility, distribution, and data collection, to musical value, labor, and artist treatment"--

"Magaudda and Bonini present a look into digital platforms that will change the conversation about how platforms operate. Instead of assuming that platforms are neutral, Magaudda and Bonini show that platforms are embedded in networks of people. As a result, they show how platforms have become the new gatekeepers for cultural content. This book will change the way we think about platforms for years to come." —David Arditi, Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Texas at Arlington, USA "Magaudda and Bonini are two of the most prolific and thoughtful scholars on the topic of music and technology. In this book they provide insight into how streaming platforms are shaping music production and consumption cultures. This book will help us better grasp how we can intervene in creating a music ecosystem that benefits everyone.” —Robert Prey, Assistant Professor at the Center for Media and Journalism Studies, University of Groningen, Netherlands Grounded in more than a decade of field research, this book uses empirical examples, quantitative data, and qualitative interviews with young music consumers as well as music industry professionals to understand how the platforms behind music production, distribution and listening work in our digital society. Bringing together the perspectives from science and technology studies, media studies, and the political economy of digital platforms, the book outlines the process of mutual construction between music digital platforms and the cultural value of music in today’s society, and also reflects on the complicated relationship between the power of platforms and the agency of listeners. Tiziano Bonini is Associate Professor in Sociology of Culture and Communication at the University of Siena. He has co-edited the book Radio Audiences and Participation in the age of network society (with B. Monclus, Routledge, 2015) and co-authored the book Algorithms of Resistance (with E. Treré, MIT Press, 2024). Paolo Magaudda is Associate Professor in Sociology of Culture and Communication at the University of Padova. He is author of History of Digital Media (with G. Balbi, Routledge, 2018) and Youth People and The Smartphone (with M. Drusian and C.M. Scarcelli, Palgrave 2022). .
