From Phonographs to Spotify: A Brief History of the Music Industry

Only 200k+ views?! Really!!!?

They missed out on 60 years of recording technology... shellac aka 78rpm records were popular from 1900 to the late 50s.

White people

Fun fact: the first portable cassette player was made by a germanic-brazillian man called Andreas Pavel, he even got in judicial fights with sony regarding rights

Apple actually relieved the record companies. They would not even exist in 2023 without Apple.

what a video, man...

There is nothing here about fine speakers and amplifiers.
Anyway, music nowadays is dead.

🔘 thank you

first we get rid of the lawyers then subscription based journalism.

I think the force of streaming lies in other things than only generating revenue. It's the new radio, without all the annoying parts.

i have a media sac abt this tysm alot of info in a super concise manner

Not very thorough skipping boom boxes and A-track

It's crazy how intangible music production has become. From a giant horn and wax cylinder, to a huge vinyl disc, to two reels of tape, to the cassette, to a smaller thinner disc, to a single MP3 player, to streaming - where you don't even own any of the songs you listen to.

Music is so powerful It can break through the boundaries of the law

CDs were the best of it all. Great sound quality on OG presses, easy to convert digitally to wav and m4a for iPhones and mobile devices. Standout winner to me

Question: what y’all think that it’s going to be the new technology that will revolucionize the music industry ??

Two words..Music NFTs

Blockchain is next

I study music at college and need to do an assignment on how the industry has developed over the years.

This video helped a lot, Thankyou.

Phonautograph predates phonograph. It was invented by Eduard Leon Scott De Martinville 20 years before the phonograph was invented by Thomas Edison.

It’s hard for me to even imagine what would be the technological breakthrough….possibly virtual? Ugh I like listening to music but i don’t know about being transported virtually to the 1960s.

do you think Drayke is a musician ?

Oof

thank you

Just to add Philips played a big role in the music industry. They invented the compact cassettes (early 60s) and compact discs (early 80s) and then SACDs & DVDs, though some were co-invented. Philips Records was also one of the biggest labels in classical music and many of the recordings are still considered to be the finest. It's fate was absorbed into Universal Music but the consortium decided to discontinue the brand. It's huge historical recoding repertoire were reissued under other labels. It's really a sad story that Philips declined in the music industry and they eventually sold the business. So does for EMI.

Good video but should have addressed radio, its one of the most enduring forms of music consumption

they show me bad and my family very bad on tv show from young age

is that something big ?

What's a drake?

whoa

But for me I'm a big fan of vinyl and CDs.

poorly presented, too much chatter

Cassettes clearly the best

I still use CDs 💿

Wait go back! I wanna hear Jay Z on the wax cylinder 😂

here bcs of assignment

this video is really good, showing the major shifts of the industry as a whole. however, i think you brushed off the impact of the ipod and itunes. they were the precursors to modern streaming services, while not being plagued with illegality like napster. plus, it was the newest way to listen portably, removing the need for having a different piece of media for every album or single and just having it on one device. mp3 players changed the game for a short, but very beloved blip in time

Glad to be one of the non-streamers. All my music may be digital, but I own it, have copied it on multiple hard drives and no corporation can take it away from me by pulling the plug on their service.

NFTs

Vinyl is the most funky era🤖🐫

I mean honestly there’s only one more step and that is instant thought and a song plays in your head. Crazy

Lol,I still have my CD collection plus cassettes and some vinyl,but mostly CD's 💯😎

Selena!
