Hi Andrew, I look at the music industries’ perspective on music streaming. I have one publication on how professionals and musicians talk about playlists in Australia (empirical): Morgan, Benjamin A. 2020. "Revenue, access, and engagement via the in-house curated Spotify playlist in Australia." Popular Communication 18 (1): 32-47. https://doi.org/10.1080/15405702.2019.1649678 Here are some of the articles I recently recommended when asked about whether I think music streaming is ‘fair’ 1. Hesmondhalgh D. Is music streaming bad for musicians? Problems of evidence and argument. New Media & Society. September 2020. doi:10.1177/1461444820953541 2. (Hey Aram!) Sinnreich, Aram. 2016. "Slicing the pie: the search for an equitable recorded music economy." In Business Innovation and Disruption in the Music Industry, edited by Patrik Wikström and Robert DeFillippi, 153-174. Cheltenham, UK: Edward Elgar Publishing. 3. Marshall L. Do People Value Recorded Music? Cultural Sociology. 2019;13(2):141-158. doi:10.1177/1749975519839524 This is my favourite explainer of automated recommendation (and advertising) Prey, Robert. 2016. "Musica Analytica: The Datafication of Listening." In Networked Music Cultures, edited by Raphaël Nowak and Andrew Whelan, 31-48. London: Palgrave Macmillan UK. Cultural takes on streaming and music producers Goldschmitt, K. E. "The Long History of the 2017 Spotify “Fake Music” Scandal." American Music 38, no. 2 (2020): 131-52. doi:10.5406/americanmusic.38.2.0131 Morris JW. Music Platforms and the Optimization of Culture. Social Media + Society. July 2020. doi:10.1177/2056305120940690 David Arditi and Tiziano Bonini have already weighed in, their work is also excellent!

I am casting my net widely at this point, so anything about podcasting, internet radio, streaming platforms is of interest to me, so don't hold back.
