Music streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and those offered by Chinese web giant Tencent are now central to everyday musical activity across much of the world, with enormous ramifications for musical culture in modern societies. Bringing together case studies from twelve countries, Music Streaming around the World provides the first international account of how streaming is shaping music culture today by considering the implications of streaming platforms for the production, distribution, and consumption of recorded music around the globe.
