If Apple had never delved into the world of music with the iPod, it may never have made that transition to dominating the entire digital landscape. Apple would not be the company it is today, and may have faded into irrelevance, or even worse.

This article by Joshua Brustein is about how Googles new streaming service has the potential to be more beneficial for artists and major record labels than other streaming services have been in the past.

"The pitch for musicians and labels from Spotify (and, presumably, competitors such as Google) is that subscription services will replace the lost revenue from reduced downloads, which of course never quite got around to replacing the revenue lost from plunging record sales" writes Joshua Brustein, who is a writer for Businessweek. He also mentions that Spotify is pushing artist to ask for less, otherwise Spotify can not make a profit. In addition to Google making deal to entice people to switch, for example "Google’s All Access service is slated to cost the same, although everyone will get 30 days of free access, and those who sign up before June 30 will only be charged $7.99 monthly." This article is important to the audio industry especially for artist get paid for having their songs on Spotify. It also gives an overview for the plan that Google has to win over Spotify.

Despite the rise of internet self-promotion, the record industry is in rude health, says Frances Moore.
How has the internet changed the role of record companies? To many, it seemed the digital world would render record labels obsolete, in an age when artists could self-publish and self-promote their work. However, a new report we have published at IFPI today suggests a very different story. Far from marginalising labels, the internet has actually made them more important.
Orlando Colon's curator insight,

In this article they talk about how record labels aren't really going away as much as we think because based on studies done, a majority of artists still want to have record deals and be backed by record labels to support them throughout the way. "The positive message from our report is that, for the music industry, the age of self-publishing has been more an opportunity than a threat".

This article discusses how record labels can remain relevant and the different ways they can do so. It was interesting seeing the ways record labels are reinventing themselves and the relationships they have with their artists.

Many industry professionals believe that the soundtrack is a dying (if not dead) art form. Just read This Piece From 2009 In The Wrap, where author Dominic Patten cites example after example demonstrating that basically, consumers just don’t care anymore. He’s not wrong. The trend of digital singles might have been the most detrimental to the soundtrack, a product designed to be a complete listening experience, capturing in song the journey a viewer went on while watching the film or television show. To split it into individual singles…well, then there’s nothing really to separate that version from what you can find on the artist’s album.
