Now it’s ironic that new music technologies may be reversing this trend of the last 100-150 years.

[@mossadon]

Did everyone forget about Bandcamp ? It's one of the fairest platforms out there and it's artist driven. Buy digital or vinyl/CD/Tape. Get digital access on all purchases added to your account. Profit split DIRECTLY to the artists / labels and you aren't trapped in the bullshit streaming platforms net that sends all it's money to shareholders while labels and publishers make sure Big Name artists get paid fuck tons while small artists, like the guy said, get stiffed with a few hundred $ a year for thousands of plays which SHOULD be thousands of PURCHASES. Music industry hasn't changed that much outside of digital streaming... Major labels still fuck everyone over until you make it BIG and control every other traditional delivery services like cable music channels and radio and award shows where exposure is needed to expand your fanbase. Plus now record labels want / take a cut of your touring merch and ticket sales. Major labels haven't broken a new style of music or the artists that make it since the late 80's.

As a dancer it's our job to dance to copyrighted music and we can't even upload videos with music in the background because of copyright bs so finding music that isn't copyrighted or findind other ways around copyright is the only option we have.

That’s evidently what’s happening to hip hop Rn and that’s so sad to see it’s such an amazing n unique genre that I hope sum sort of movement comes and pushes it farther than what it is now It’s too much pop rap artist coming out and jus really making it seem like the new unauthentic pop in a way

[@gators9570]

I think they’re a bit in denial though. Like the black keys blew up and received pretty widespread play. Gold on true ceiling, tighten up etc. are well known songs even to pop listeners. I’m sure their concerts draw pretty mixed crowd with people who are just there cause they recognize the name and a couple of songs and then genuine fans. I guess it obviously hasn’t ruined it for them but they’re not hidden whatsoever

[@patricklester-rourke1396]

As someone who’s in a few bands and that also makes my own music it’s just something you’ve got to accept. Piracy/Streaming definitely hit the music industry hard when it started but at this point any artistic endeavour is tricky to make much money from due to the internet. (Obvs the internet helps small fry’s promote cheaply/independently) From a couple of thousand streams you make nothing worthy of mention. However, as other people have said. If you want to support the artist, going to a gig and buying some merch is the only way anyone (that isn’t huge) is making real money. Another point: Aside from t-shirts etc. people still like something physical to hold. So although big artists and labels aren’t making much off CD’s anymore, my experience has been that CD’s/Vinyl are a valid way to make money (within the context of merch at a gig).

For the last 5 years I've been working on developing an solution for independent artists via a platform I'm building called Musicpher. After all this time I can def tell you that unfortunately successful musicians are the least able to understand the actual economics and advantages of the streaming model, because they have been kept in the dark by all the middle man (or women) that exists between them and their royalties. I know for a fact now, and based on actual data collected all this time from Independent unknown local artists that the streaming model could be super profitable when killing the sharks in the middle. And I'm assuming that the DSPs (Spotify and the rest) have no choice but to keep the silence or lose the major artists controlled by the labels.

[@hotsmudgesundae]

If only there was an automated way for Spotify computers and servers to track "This guy who pays 15 bucks a month listened to these specific artists this month, break up what is left of his payment after our cut, and distribute it to the artists he listened to based on how many plays of each artist he listened to, down to the minimum royalty disbursement of what they are currently getting anyway." It would solve this problem completely. Artists would at least be somewhat getting what is due to them. Hell, if Spotify said "We have a Supporter Membership Tier, where every play yields 2 or 3 cents to the artist, but it will cost you 20 or 25 bucks a month." I would GLADLY pay for that. Include little bonuses to those who pay for the elevated memberships like limited time early listening for yet-to-be-released material, a higher audio quality, a feature that lets you save EQ presets in the streaming app, etc. There are countless ways streaming services can enrich the benefits to the artists, yet they dont fucking do it.

[@wiseodd]

Thats pretty much how youtube premium works. They track your views, split it into minutes viewed and divides your premium dollars to those channels you viewed, based upon minutes viewed per month. Wish this was how the streaming services worked... The problem is that streaming services pay the record companies and they (as has always been the case) shaft the artist. Fuck the record companies!

[@NamooNara]

CD's are still a great medium, especially if we are talking about small labels and independent artists. 44k16bit file is quite good, and pretty much the closest to what the artist and mix/mastering engineers intended to be heard. Also the artwork and packaging is a great size. Vinyl is cool if the music was tracked to tape. Most music since the 90s was not.

[@TealJosh]

If I remember correctly a modern high res digital recording(in the studio) converted into vinyl is more accurate compared to pre 90s vinyls. But honestly that doesn't even matter. Vinyl for fans in my opinion is superior simply because the packages hold more bang for buck in terms of cover images and other art.

I buy vinyl again for this reason. And most vinyls come with a "free" digital download of the album. So, you still support the artists and get a bad ass vinyl. Nothing will EVER replace the sound of vinyl. I run a headshop and we were playing these fellas before they were ever on a radio or tv. Joe, their sound has definitely changed. But, it is fine to evolve and not have the same exact sound every time. Hell, that's why I hate Coldplay. BUT, these bands need to remember there was a reason their original fans fell in love w their music to begin with. He's right, there is a fine line and being in a Walgreen's radio station when I just seen them on tour in a small venue for this many years in a row, it does something to real fans. At least he's honest.

5:51 yes! I've been saying this for years! Current system is ridiculous. Based on how they say they divide the money on their site, they take all the subscriptions and take their 30% cut, then divide the rest between rights holders by dividing their streams by total streams. If true, what that means is you can allocate more money than you paid in your subscription just by listening more than the average person. A quick google suggests that the average Spotify user streams 25hrs a month. If you just had it running 24/7 you are basically allocating 30x what you paid. In other words, you only paid $10, but you're determining who $300 goes to (ignoring Spotify's cut. I guess it's more like 7x30=210) . In other other words, if you publish music on Spotify and you are the sole rights holder for that music, get a paid subscription and have an old laptop you never use stream your shortest track on repeat 24/7 for the easiest $200 you'll ever make. And if that works, set up as many accounts as you like and print money I guess? I actually do wonder if that's legitimately what bigger labels do...

[@stephenmahlstedt7276]

I totally get Patrick’s point about CDs and where the money is at in the industry, but I still think there will always be a market for physical media like CDs and vinyl. I grew up with vinyl, and then like most folks my age moved on to cassettes, CDs, iPod/MP3 and eventually steaming services. For me, there is just something with physical media that a stream or digital file can never fully replace. I guess the primary reason is that I want to own the music that means a lot to me. I take great pleasure in curating my music collection (mostly vinyl with some CDs), much like some folks collect books, comic books and art. I know I can technically “own” digital music that lives in cloud storage or on streaming services, but it just doesn’t feel the same to me. I love discovering albums that have a deep impact on me, and deciding which ones to purchase, take care of and store properly makes me feel more connected to each album. If someone comes to my house, they might look through my collection to see what kind of music I’m into, and I get a kick out of that. No one gives a crap about my online playlists, and pressing play on my phone doesn’t provide the tactile feel of taking a record carefully out of the sleeve, cueing it up and then sitting back and listening to at least one side of the album. I get how that’s not important to a lot of people. Not everyone is into curating collections or taking care of records. The other aspect that I think is missing from the streaming services and digital files is the creativity involved with the packaging for physical media. I have some beautiful gatefold albums that I treat like works of art. Being able to look at the front and back of the outer sleeve, the design of the inserts or inner sleeves in some cases, and even the label on the records themselves...are all part of the creative vision that band and record label worked on. Yes those same images can be included with a purely digital distribution, but it’s just not the same for me. I want art that physically exists in front of me, and isn’t just 0s and 1s. I still subscribe to multiple streaming services, and I stream music all the time for the sake of convenience or when searching for new music that might find its way into my physical collection, but I will never truly abandon physical media and move 100% over to streaming and digital files. By the way, I still buy DVDs of my favorite movies, too. Haha! Not trying to start a holy war here, as audio format comments typically do. I’m simply sharing my perspective. Cheers, music fans!
