Sony Music should have been better engaged to allow this division’s management to properly voice their concerns over the piracy of their content. If there had been a taskforce, as mentioned above, developers for the two music devices could have worked with Sony Music to adjust their products to meet the piracy concerns. Maybe then either team could have produced a product that not only did not have sizeable technical drawbacks, but was innovative enough to capture the attention of the marketplace.

It’s probably not feasible to avoid streaming music services nowadays. Every smart phone on the market is able to operate numerous music streaming applications, ranging from radio-style streaming, on-demand streaming, and even cloud-streaming. Smart TVs come equipped with Spotify, Pandora, or Rdio. AT&T partners with Beats music to offer a unique on-demand music streaming service with playlists complied by DJs. It seams that with the advent of Wifi hotspots and high-speed mobile Internet services, music streaming is becoming more and more a part of mainstream life. Spotify has been in the spotlight within this particular segment of the streaming industry ever since its introduction to the United States in 2011. (Roose, n.d.)
Beginning in 1877 with the invention of the phonograph came the idea of recording sound and later playing it back. Music rolls and records developed, until tapes became popular in the late 50’s, and cassettes in 1963. Compact discs (CDs) first appeared in the early 80’s, and remained on of the most popular methods of listening to music until the early 2000’s. Modernly, music can be listened to in nearly any form, but is primarily downloaded to smart phones or streamed off of apps. Live music is still popular, though not so much as it was in the past, and many people still listen to songs off CDs, records, and
...arly 2.5 years, iPod shipments are approximately 1 million units ahead of the Walkman’s pace after being on the market for the same period of time.

...P, 2005, p 23) Around 2005 cell phones and PDAs were referred to as Swiss army knives of gadgets due to the fact they had many functions in one device. All the big phone companies at the time were premiering phones with more mp3 storage than mp3 player, essentially foreshadowing the future. (Dempsey, P, 2005, pg. 23)An average smart phone in the year 2014 can hold around 8-16 gigabytes of data, and if storage is allotted correctly, the phone can hold thousands of mp3s. Any mp3 player trying to have a foothold in the consumer market cannot compete with a device that is an essential part of an average person’s daily life, and a music player. “Smartphones with increasingly high-quality audio and video capabilities have become popular and therefore hamper demand for products in the Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing industry.” (Krabeepetcharat, T. 2013. p. 8)
Podcasting is a means of publishing audio and video content on the web as a series of episodes with a common theme. These episodes are accompanied by a file called a “feed” that allows listeners to subscribe to the series and receive new episodes automatically. Some people use the term “podcast” to refer to any distribution of audio/video content on the Web, but technically speaking, the feed and subscription model of file delivery is what differentiates podcasting from simply posting files on the Web. Think of podcasting like setting up an automatic bank draft to pay bills. For expenses that occur regularly over a prolonged period of time, like utility bills, the initial work of setting up a bank draft is worthwhile because it saves time and effort in the long run.
