    well the industry is now gonna go down the drain

    which means the indie market will either rise in the ashes or the commodification of music will eat up any desire to make music anymore

    I feel you. Soundcloud is all the way dead huh?

    So basically it’s either streaming (Apple/Spotify) or youtube?

    Honestly, I feel like the only thing that could make music exciting again is a good platform. something like tumblr meets MySpace meets Apple Music. We need something that takes advantage of all this technology we have. Apple doesn’t even show album covers any more that s*** is frustrating.

    Apple doesn't show covers?

    Audiomack it's becoming bigger but it's still small compared to yt/streaming (but it's the best of the 'free' streaming apps)

    Remark

    Why else would a company who has been successful private for so long all of sudden go public and have to deal with a board of stockholders.

    This isn't exact proof their suffering financially but there's something to be said for them doing this.

    They are going public because their revenues have finally recovered from the itunes era and the death of CDs. This is a marker of success, not failure. They were public when the industry was at its peak in the early 00s, they went private when itunes and piracy destroyed the music industry. Streaming brought it back. Universal is also filing an IPO, so by your logic the two biggest labels, on of which also controls half the market, are struggling.

    Most of the trending “street” artist have accounts on there. It’s a good way to see what the “street” are listening to.

    Also audiomack has penentrsted the African market. So a lot of the African artist are on there now

    I did my research and realized I was wrong.

    My fault :)

    Streaming deals bout to be the new label contract, ya'll heard it here first.

    No it isn't. UMG made sure that doesn't happen as much as possible since the streaming wars in 2016 to 17
