Social Music Notes

Social Media are still one of the biggest used for the internet age today, but with music falling behind there have been man advances in the music field to combat this lul. The newest and biggest advancement is what has been dubbed Social Music, or Smart Music, This is the idea that whatever you are listening to on your preferred music streaming service will be instantly shown within your social medias allowing people to engage with you about the music that you are currently listening to. This also allows different music services to produce playlist that they think will be suited to you using artists that are similar to the ones you have alrready listened to and or have shown interest in.

One of the biggest changes in recent news is the announcement of Google : All Access. This is googles attempt to break into the music streaming service hoping to knock Spotify and all of the other big players in the industry to the top of the charts. But the one difference in Google's approach is that there will be no freemium model which Spotify, Grooveshark and pretty much all other music streaming services offer, this has come as a shock as google is taking a huge risk in being the only subscription only streaming service available.
