Second generation web music platforms and music listening habbits

Streaming platforme su u kratkom vremenu preuzele vodeću poziciju prema udjelu ukupnog prihoda u glazbenoj industriji. Omogućavaju praktičan pristup velikim količinama sadržaja, slušanje i preuzimanje pjesama, kreiranje playlist-i i pristup raznim podcast kanalima i radio stanicama. Digitalizacijom glazbe došlo je do umnožavanja formata, evolucije softvera, te općenito jednostavnijeg i individualnijeg pristupa glazbi kao mediju. Sveprisutnost i dostupnost informacija potaknuti komunikacijom na društvenom web-u promijenili su i način promidžbe, naklade, kao i odnosa prema intelektualnom vlasništvu. Promjene u tehnologijama utjecale su na društvo i ekonomiju, te percepciju i stavove prema glazbi. Istraživanjem u zadnjem poglavlju ispituju se navike i načini slušanja glazbe u Hrvatskoj - poglavito učestalost konzumacije glazbenog proizvoda kroz različite kanale distribucije, svjesnost i stavovi o samim aplikacijama, te ostala glazbena uvjerenja i motivacije.In a short period of time, streaming platforms have taken the lead in terms of total revenue share in the music industry. They provide convenient access to a large amount of content, listening and downloading songs, creating playlists, and accessing various podcast channels and radio stations. Digitalisation of music resulted in multiplication of formats, evolution of software, and generally a more simple and individual approach to music as a medium. The ubiquity and availability of information prompted by communication on the social web have changed the ways of promotion and music publishing, as well as relation to intellectual property. Changes in technologies have effected society and the economy, as well as perception of music. The research in the last chapter examines music listening habbits and methods in Croatia - mainly frequency of consumption of a music product through different distribution channels, the awareness and attitudes towards the applications, as well as other beliefs and motivations towards music
