These are my favorite services, also I think these are leading a music industry. Also, these are able to reflect the trends how people con-

sume music. I love researching of what I like. While I worked at company, I had not much chance to do what I want. I guess nobody dis-

like music. Sound itself is marvelous , so it intrigues me so much. With this researching, I could also learn so much about new trend of

streaming services and music applications.

Music is socialIt’s now easier than ever to discover and share music with your friends. Thanks to Spotify and Facebook, users can see and hear what your friends are listening to – just hit play on any music post. Users can also share music with a flick of the wrist. Send it straight to your friends, or post tracks on social networks. It’s how music should be.

Future works

With just a few services about music, I could see there are various kinds of services of music. The services which I choose in this ex-

ample, are very specified by a certain point.

Spotify is very popular on providing preference based radio which people can listen any music based on their taste. DesignerMX is

also kinds of radio system, however, target of using the site is mostly graphic designers to share their playlist. Main purpose of this ser-

vice is sharing inspiration, so that not just sharing playlists, they also upload graphic design of their album covers.

SoundCloud is for anybody who wants to share their own sounds or record.

Those services gives me insights about trend what people want. Originally, people have been enjoying making rhythm and listen music

for a long time. Although many generation has been passed, people still enjoy listening music. Medium nowadays is just changing to

reflect the people’s desire. In particular, people tend to listen music or rhythm depends on what their mood or own style. Auto gener-

ated algorithm which recognizing user’s music style, helps people enjoying what they want easily. Also, community is more specifying

the target to give service certain kinds of music.

Not just listening music, average people would like to compose music and share with them. Also, people tend to show their identifica-

tion with music style what they are listening.

Future music consuming industry is also following people’s desire.

I guess the future generation include me, want to listen more music anywhere as like now. I wish medium for discovering music be-

came more smart.
