Re: [FRIAM] Steaming services

Imogen Heap started a project called the Mycelia music network a few years ago. Since then there are some other blockchain-tech companies like Audius.co that aim to connect the consumer and artists directly. I guess my expectation is that a lot of what makes an artist successful is marketin

My daughter, now 29, had an iPad when she was a young adolescent. I asked her once how many songs were on it. She said there were 8000. My understanding was that they should cost 99 cents each. I asked how she got so many. She says each kid copies all the songs on all their friends' iPads. Th

The streaming services are basically ripping the artists off. https://freeyourmusic.com/blog/how-much-does-spotify-pay-per-stream As others have noted, live shows, merch and CDs are the only way artists make money anymore. So yeah the streaming is 'good' for consumers ... Curt On Sun, Aug 2

My last three requests were: Serenata Huasteca Mozart And a song Dylan wrote that someone said was a confession about his seducing a young girl. WRT the last, I wanted to see why he said that. I suspect that the intersection of my requests and the Top 50 is empty. Frank --- Frank C. Wimberly

Re: [FRIAM] Streaming services

Yes, I think you are right. Both. Streaming services enable people to listen to music from remote corners of the world.But they also encourage all people to hear the same stuff. For example platforms like Spotify produce global "top 50" charts. People listen to popular songs in the charts, and a

[FRIAM] Steaming services

In the last virtual FRIAM meeting Jonathan Zingale mentioned that streaming services confine our access to music, because they mainly offer mainstream music.IMHO they also broaden our access to music: as a European I can listen to music from all around the world. I have for example German, Itali
