Is physical music convicted? A new study found that most Americans believe that broadcasting music is “superior” than all the physical forms of combined music.
The survey of 2,000 US adults found 38% believe that transmission services like Apple Music and Spotify are superior to their physical counterparts – where 13% believe that CDs are supreme, 12% are vinyl purists and 1% think nothing is close to the cassettes.
14% others said they still believe radio stations are the best way to listen to music, and 4% prefer digital music files.
Singudesly, only 15% said that listening to live music was personally the best way to hear. However, live music was found to be more expensive, on average.
Performed by Talker Research, it was revealed that in a single year, they responded that they spent a total of $ 274 on music, on average – $ 100 in live concerts, $ 75 in broadcasting services, $ 53 in CDs and $ 46 in vinyls.
But many believe that the cost of music is very high.
When asked how many answers they believe that different music formats should cost them, their answers were constantly lower than those they actually pay.
Thirty -five percent of people believe that a single transmission month should not cost them more than $ 10, although a majority (59%) are willing to pay up to $ 20 for comfort.
The same can be said for digital albums and a single file MP3 – 38% will not pay more than $ 10, while 27% think individual files should be free, with 18% only willing to pay between $ 1 and $ 5.
Answers said they would spend a little more about the physical types of music. More than half (52%) believe that a single CD or a tape should cost $ 15 most, and vinyls are allowed to cost up to $ 20, according to 54% of customers.
“The broadcast is great because you can get almost everything you need almost all the time. But [it’s] Type like fast and fast food, and you may not pay much attention, ”explained Steve Nixon, jazz pianist and founder of freejazzlesons.com.
“This is the experience. You get artwork from the sleeve, packaging and weight of the disk. There is something about it you can’t get through transmission. It is not about music; It’s about the process. “
The study also found a strong indication that people preferred to support live music, though cost obstacle was visible to some. Two in three said they do not want to pay more than $ 100 for a ticket, but the average person is willing to remove $ 427 to see their favorite artist performance.
However, the average person can also remember to lose at least 10 live shows because ticket prices were too expensive for them to justify.
“Doing something physical takes some time; You cannot do it immediately physical, “Steve continued.” If you buy something physical, you support the artist. Music broadcasting platforms pay very little artists for their work. If you pay a little more for the record, you ensure that the artist is rightly rewarded for something they spend their creativity and energy.
“It’s hard. Music sales may not compete against broadcasting. But the link that artists now have with their fans are bigger. If you only listen to the radio and switch the songs quickly, you will not experience this. If you hear a song from an album, the experience is completely different. “
