Music in the Digital Age
By Space Coast Daily // November 5, 2020
Music has evolved over the years and this has changed how we listen to and interact with music today.
How or when music started is not what anyone can trace back to but music has been in existence since the beginning of time- for as long as you can think of.
The only difference over the years is how we have managed to improve our creativity in music and also maximized the advancement in technology to our advantage in music.
Technology has made a huge difference in what the music industry has become today and it has also allowed us to extend the listening experience.
Platforms such as mp3shack make it easier to have music available to you in your preferred listening mode and more. There are also several apps today bringing music closer to the average person on every platform, whether it is on the web or mobile or via an Mp3 player.
The technology ensures you have music close to you as much as possible, whatever it takes.
We have moved past the phase of waiting to gather together to listen to our favorite musicians to buying their cassettes and CDs to now streaming their music on several platforms.
Today, in a few clicks, you can listen to your favorite musical artist on any platform, whether it is YouTube, Facebook, or Instagram LIVE, or via your music app.

What music has become in this digital age is now a social experiment and how we constantly respond to it will determine the next moves of top brands.
This is why there is always a new product or feature launched to ensure you enjoy music, even if it means listening to it in a louder and clearer version via your headphones.
Social media has also contributed a great deal to how we relate to music today, as both musical artists and music listeners tend to rely on social media.
While music listeners rely on social media to know the latest song or album or the most trending song of the moment, musical artists sometimes have to depend on social media trends to know how well their charts are doing.
This research article from 2017 talks about the digitalization of music and what it tells us about capitalism, culture, and the power of the information technology sector.
This shows how there’s more to music than meets the eye and it’s obviously beyond the music industry itself. The digitalization of music influences several other sectors as discussed in the research.
While music in the digital age might have proven to be great so far, it could also have its downsides, as explained in this research that talks about The Emergence of Digital Music and Its Repercussions on the Music Industry.
As technology continues to advance, there is much more to expect from the music industry in this digital age. This is especially considering how it has become a social experiment over time. Just as we do not know the origin of music, music will always be here and will last until the end of time.
