Speaker 1
I never buy CDs. I don’t even own a CD player, so what
would I play them on? I only ever stream my music. The
best thing about streaming is that it’s free and I can
listen to whatever I want. It’s also great for discovering
new music. I’m sent recommendations based on what
I regularly listen to, so I get to hear new bands that I’ve
never heard of. I can store music on my phone and
create playlists – it’s like having a portable music
collection. The only negatives are that you need Wi-Fi,
or use your data to stream music. And the songs are
often interrupted by ads. Now that’s really annoying!
Speaker 2
I’ve been working here for over ten years and I love it!
In the past, everyone used to buy vinyl records. Now,
it’s mainly fans who come. They want to find rare music,
or buy recordings of live concerts, that kind of thing. DJs
who need vinyl to work with come in, too. And the idea
of owning music has been completely changed by digital
– there’s no physical product anymore, is there? But
you’ll always have people who want to have their own
CD or record, and maybe get it signed by the band. It’s a
little like the difference between wanting to buy a book
and keep it on your shelf or using an e-reader, isn’t it?
Speaker 3
What do I think about music streaming services? I think
they’re killing the music industry! People always want
something for nothing – but what about the artists?
People should pay us properly for our work, not give
us something like $1 for every 1,000 streams! People
used to like a song and then buy a whole CD. Now they
can just stream or download one individual song and
that’s having a big impact on our royalties – the money
we earn. For big bands like us, it’s been terrible! The
only way we can make money now is through concerts
and by selling merchandise, like T-shirts. Tickets for
festivals and gigs are going to become less affordable to
real fans – but that’s the only way bands can earn
money now.
