Music consumption

Music consumption refers to how people listen to and access music. Traditionally, this meant purchasing vinyl records, cassette tapes, or CDs. Today, it largely occurs through digital means like streaming services, downloading files, or listening on apps. These platforms allow instant access to vast music libraries, often through subscriptions or ad-supported models. Music consumption also involves choices about when, where, and how audiences engage with music—whether on smartphones, computers, or smart speakers. Overall, it reflects the shift from owning music physically to experiencing it digitally, offering more convenience and personalized listening experiences.
