(255 responses) I love spotify because everything is there and I can use it on my phone easily Soundcloud is cool for discovering music Youtube has everything that isn't on either Convenient Easy 320kbps good quality music, has almost everykind of music. All above are easy to use. Don't like the adds though. Spotify allows music exploration on specific genres. Soundcloud has unique sounds from artists. Both are convenient for on the go play. Spotify: Can choose songs you want to listen to, unlimited plays, discover new music, make playlists, makes playlists for you Youtube: Lots of music you can't find anywhere else (e.g. covers, underground artists, non-English), lots of good recommendations, free, unlimited plays, makes playlists for you, can make playlists Spotify - easy to store playlists of songs; Soundcloud - coolest remixes, best for discovering music; Youtube - autoplay of related songs (Soundcloud has it too but Youtube's variety is somehow better imo) Spotify-because I get to chose what I'm listening to Pandora- because it's a good place to find new music YouTube-because I get to chose what I'm listening to Its between that and Spotify, but I like 8 tracks because its in the browser. I can get music whenever I want (offline or online) spotify: allows you to play any song and minimal commercials. has most mainstream songs soundcloud: has music not on spotify. i.e.: remixes I am an iPhone user and its easy to use. FREE MUZAK I choose to use all of them because some of the songs I like to listen too you can't find them on anything else. Therefore, I like to listen to my music by any means necessary. easy streaming, few commercials They're all pretty easy to use. I don't like Pandora because it doesn't have a lot of music that I like. I listen to spotify to find indie artist that have no other platforms for their music. I use apple music because I used to buy all my music on iTunes so it was easy to switch over. Pandora is easy to use on a mobile device. Effects of DemograpYhoiucTu Dbei fhfaes reevenryctheinsg. in the World of Music Streaming Free and makes playlist QUESTIONS RESPONSES Free and makes playlist youtube provides related videos, and i enjoy how you can see the preview with the photo, soundcloud has cool free musu Convenient integration with iTunes. YouTube: diverse playlists easy More Used it since I was young It is easy to navigate, I have put effort into finding/organizing my music there, and it is free! Large library for Spotify, Indie artists for Soundcloud I like having the songs I listen to spotify and pandora are part of SECRET ILLUMINATI PROPAGANDA made by our SECRET REPTILIAN OVERLORDS to SECRETLY SPY on the human race as they plan our SECRET DEMISE so that they can SECRETLY TAKE OVER THE EARTH and maybe like, mars or something. i have no idea what giant reptile lizard people would do on mars though. and by all of that nonsense i mean that i actually just prefer soundcloud and youtube due to their general design, as well as focus on original content. that is to say, like, as far as i understand, spotify and pandora is more for like, official music, or something? like fully licensed music from big name labels or whatever? like if i go on spotify i can hear that song that drake sings while he does the silly dance that everyone made fun of on vine or i can hear taylor swift sing a melancholic tune about her 37th ex-boyfriend and thats all cool and swell, but on spotify/pandora i won't be able to hear songs made by some new guy in his basement who's just messing around with his music program while eating a plate of his mom's homemade spaghetti. the array of independent indie artists like that who can share all of their creations on youtube and soundcloud make it a much more appealing option for me. it equates to more music which means more good music to discover which is important because if there's no good music to discover what is the point of living because music is literally everything. live for music. die for music. music is great. M U S I C R O C K S M Y S O C K S O F F H O L Y C O W so yeah spotify and pandora just aren't my cup of tea. well, in reality, nothing is my cup of tea because i don't drink tea, but you understand. Spotify because it has the best selection, Soundcloud and YouTube for more obscure music Playback mode can be offline Spotify is just the shit Simple, user-friendly interface; prefer Youtube because can block ads Has multiple genres and it's easy to save and go back to Soundcloud Easy to access Easy to access MelOn and YouTube: Lots of music to browse, and easy to download them I'm a visual type of person Spotify is free and easy to use and has lots of music. Same with youtube except youtube has even more i use youtube just so i can download the songs off of youtube-mp3 and put them on my itunes. i like itunes the best out of all of these because it doesn't drain my phone battery when i'm listening on the go and doesn't require an internet connection. all of my platform choices revolve around the fact that i listen to music while walking around outside and want the most accessibility possible in that regards. sometimes i use spotify at home when i'm listening to music because i don't have to worry about 1. battery and 2. internet connection, but i never ever listen to it on the go It's free! CONVENIENT Easy to create playlist /listen to music I use Soundcloud because I love finding new music, and it's the best place to explore EDM artists, in my experience. SIMPLE AND CONVENIENT I bought the premium, so I have no ads, free skips, and free song saves. Soundcloud : Easy to find music, can be used on phone Youtube: Can download into iTunes Spotify, numerous artists for free. Only draw back, no Taylor swift. Easy to use, good content its simple YouTube sound cloud are free Fast, minimal ads Music Videos spotify spotify They have more indie music, and I find more new music. Spotify offers instant access to millions of songs, while offering a good student discount. I prefer YouTube since I use it the most. 8 tracks formulates premade playlists (by other users) based on what you search for example study/summer/party etc. spotify because you can listen to current music on shuffle Soundcloud because it has new music Because 8tracks is a hub of playlists created by other people and you can search for any mood you want Various playlists Most common Spotify because it has tons of options, a low rate, and makes playlists for you and categorizes genres in a cool way. It's the easiest and fastest to access Soundcloud and YouTube best allow people with similar taste in music to form a community, and aren't limited by licensing and algorithms, to the same extent. Spotify and Pandora work well for pop music, but not for the music that I consider to be my favourite. I do like pop, but the songs that I find to be inspired, master-crafted works end up being from unknown artists with less than 100,000 hits on soundcloud, meaning that finding new songs to listen to is much easier, when I take recommendations from the people in the communities on Soundcloud and YouTube. Spotify has an offline option and a wide variety of songs. Soundcloud has songs that cannot be found on other platforms. Youtube has music videos for when you're tripping balls. Spotify Spotify Spotify I can pick the artist or types of music It doesn't cost money to listen and you can follow your friends and see the music they are listening to so my music taste tends to expand when I use soundcloud. It is convient and user friendly access to a broad music spectrum; Soundcloud allows me to discover/stream underground artists Spotify- it has basically every song, and with the app, it's easy to use I like Spotify because it's free and there are a lot of different playlists with songs that I haven't heard of but still enjoy. YouTube is usually where I go to if I'm listening to covers, watching music videos, or just want to look up a song really quickly. YouTube: Easily accessible platform with video focus and literally EVERYTHING in its portfolio. Soundcloud lets me listen to remixes and EDM that isn't professionally produced and spotify lets me listen to music that is by artists i love.

By May 2021, it was reported that the video-sharing app generated $5.2 billion in revenue with more than 500 million users worldwide.", free vending machine code tiktok free pro tiktok likes and followers free tiktok fans without downloading any apps The primary difference between Tencent’s WeChat and ByteDance’s Toutiao is that the former has yet to capitalize on the addictive nature of short-form videos, whereas the latter has. TikTok — the latter’s new acquisition — is a comparatively more simple app than its parent company, but it does fit in well with Tencent’s previous acquisition of Meitu, which is perhaps better known for its beauty apps.", In an article published by The New York Times, it was claimed that "An app with more than 500 million users can’t seem to catch a break. From pornography to privacy concerns, there have been quite few controversies surrounding TikTok." It continued by saying that "A recent class-action lawsuit alleged that the app poses health and privacy risks to users because of its allegedly discriminatory algorithm, which restricts some content and promotes other content." This article was published on The New York Times.", The app has received criticism from users for not creating revenue and posting ads on videos which some see as annoying. The app has also been criticized for allowing children younger than age 13 to create videos.

    Music Preferences: a Gateway to Where? by Delia Regan

    Music Preferences: A Gateway to Where? Delia Regan Anna Maria College Author’s Note Delia Regan (‘21), Music Therapy Honor Student, Anna Maria College This thesis was prepared for HON 490-01 Seniors Honors Seminar under the instruction of Professor Travis Maruska, Associate Professor of Humanities, Anna Maria College. Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed by electronic mail. Contact: [email protected], [email protected] ​ ​ ​ 1 Abstract This paper discusses the impact of peer pressure on shared music preferences which was conducted through a survey and group interviews. The information on the development of music preferences provides the reader with background on how the music preference process begins. Peer pressure is also discussed from early childhood into adulthood. The solidification of music preferences happens around the same age as college-aged individuals, which overlaps with a decrease in the impact of peer pressure. The research focuses on college-aged individuals who completed a survey on their music preferences in individual and group settings, and then were put into groups to determine if a social setting would influence their responses to the same questions. Overall, a distinct relationship between peer pressure and music preference could not be made. Keywords: College-Aged, Group Cohesion, Music, Music Preference, Peer Pressure, ​ Social Consequence 2 Music Preferences What does music taste say about a person? Music is usually a part of daily life, whether people are aware of it or not. It can help people express themselves, regulate their emotions, and, when used clinically, can help a person regain the ability to walk. Music is powerful, but what draws people to it? Studies have been done to try and determine why people are attracted to music, and they have created multiple theories trying to answer this question.
