So seems like you as listeners are pretty happy with this whole situation.
I guess I have to explain the background to my question:
I agree that streaming is pretty awesome, but I am just a little concerned about the bands and artists who supply the streaming services and other channels with music. I had the chance to talk to lots of musicians in a recording studio where I was working. From an artist point of view, the situation bares lots of possibilities to make the music available worldwide, but it is so much other stuff out there, that it seems to be really hard to get recognized. And also the financial value for recorded music is a problem for bands, since revenues from streaming etc doesnt really contribute to pay any bills.
I was trying to think of a solution for this situation, where the listener seems to be pretty happy with the situation and the musicians struggle. (In this thread I tried to see if my assumption of this situation was wrong...).
After all, the listener enjoys a product that the musicians makes. So how can we listeners value the music we enjoy? What would be a problem the listener has, that the artist or any service could fix in order to put a value on this in order to improve the musicians situation.
Or is this just not of the listeners concern?
