“And yet, as significant as this shift in listening habits might be for the music industry, the streaming revolution may seem like little more than a software upgrade for the average listener. While it’s true that these new services reduce the amount of friction we experience when attempting to listen to a certain song right this minute, the paradigm of how we experience music remains largely unchanged. We’re still listening to music on the computer, or on our phones or in the car. All that’s changed is that we no longer need to remember to sync our iPod before heading out the door.”
