[Air-L] Looking for recent articles and books on streaming audio

[Benjamin Morgan]

Hi Andrew,

I look at the music industries’ perspective on music streaming.
I have one publication on how professionals and musicians talk about playlists in Australia (empirical):

Morgan, Benjamin A. 2020. "Revenue, access, and engagement via the in-house curated Spotify playlist in Australia." Popular Communication 18 (1): 32-47. https://doi.org/10.1080/15405702.2019.1649678

Here are some of the articles I recently recommended when asked about whether I think music streaming is ‘fair’

  1.  Hesmondhalgh D. Is music streaming bad for musicians? Problems of evidence and argument. New Media & Society. September 2020. doi:10.1177/1461444820953541
  2.  (Hey Aram!) Sinnreich, Aram. 2016. "Slicing the pie: the search for an equitable recorded music economy." In Business Innovation and Disruption in the Music Industry, edited by Patrik Wikström and Robert DeFillippi, 153-174. Cheltenham, UK: Edward Elgar Publishing.
  3.  Marshall L. Do People Value Recorded Music? Cultural Sociology. 2019;13(2):141-158. doi:10.1177/1749975519839524

This is my favourite explainer of automated recommendation (and advertising)

Prey, Robert. 2016. "Musica Analytica: The Datafication of Listening." In Networked Music Cultures, edited by Raphaël Nowak and Andrew Whelan, 31-48. London: Palgrave Macmillan UK.


Cultural takes on streaming and music producers

Goldschmitt, K. E. "The Long History of the 2017 Spotify “Fake Music” Scandal." American Music 38, no. 2 (2020): 131-52. doi:10.5406/americanmusic.38.2.0131

Morris JW. Music Platforms and the Optimization of Culture. Social Media + Society. July 2020. doi:10.1177/2056305120940690


David Arditi and Tiziano Bonini have already weighed in, their work is also excellent!

Cheers
Ben

Subject: [Air-L] Looking for recent articles and books on streaming audio
My fellow AOIRistas

I am looking to our collective hivemind to bring to light the best theoretical and empirical work on streaming audio over the past few years. I am casting my net widely at this point, so anything about podcasting, internet radio, streaming platforms is of interest to me, so don't hold back.

Thanks

Andrew
