Spotify is the Future of Music
Music has changed a lot in recent years. I remember buying cassette tapes as a child and just assuming that this would be the way that music would always be. Like vinyl there was no precise way to skip the tracks, which meant that you’d usually listen to the albums as the musicians intended — in full, and without distraction. If you really wanted to fast forward a track you could, but it was difficult. Then the CD came along, and suddenly it seemed like we had the format that was perfect. The sound was substantially better, multimedia things could be included, and the case seemed just perfect. You could skip between tracks, and storage of thousands of CDs was easy due to their size. They were hardly threatened by the mini-disc, and I don’t think that the mp3 — legally purchased, mind you — made any huge difference.
People still loved owning the physical product of the CD just as much as they wanted to own contemporary furniture. But the illegal downloads really changed things and proved to the industry that something else had to be done. Prosecuting those who apparently downloaded music illegally — something very difficult to prove, resulting in many innocent people having to pay — didn’t work. But Spotify might. It allows music fans to listen to all the music that the want, for a relatively low price. It’s the ideal response to kids who want to be able to access the world’s music in seconds.
