Looking for recent articles and books on streaming audio
My fellow AOIRistas I am looking to our collective hivemind to bring to light the best theoretical and empirical work on streaming audio over the past few years. 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. Thanks Andrew

This is a terrific list, thanks for sending it along, Tiziano! Andrew: If you would like to see a quite exhaustive (and near-well comprehensive) list of published scholarship on podcasting in particular, I would encourage you to check out this Google Doc managed by podcasting scholar Nele Heise in Germany: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PCqveZwFSexeMshI1rxBW6VbpCrC_VyJddyTwLif... I will add to Tiziano's excellent starter list two other essential readings regarding podcasting: Cwynar, C. (2017). NPR Music: Remediation, curation, and National Public Radio in the digital convergence era. *Media, Culture & Society*, *39*(5), 680–696. https://doi.org/10.1177/0163443716674362 Morris, J. W., & Patterson, E. (2015). Podcasting and its Apps: Software, Sound, and the Interfaces of Digital Audio. *Journal of Radio & Audio Media*, *22*(2), 220–230. https://doi.org/10.1080/19376529.2015.1083374 Finally, for a somewhat early but critical foundational work on the meaning of podcasting from a socio-cultural standpoint (particularly the broadcasting vs. podcasting debate), this is important as well: Sterne, J., Morris, J., Baker, M. B., & Freire, A. M. (2008). The Politics of Podcasting. *The Fibreculture Journal*, *13*. http://thirteen.fibreculturejournal.org/fcj-087-the-politics-of-podcasting/ Cheers and good luck on your search, John On Thu, Jan 14, 2021 at 10:33 AM tiziano bonini <tiziano.bonini@gmail.com> wrote:

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!
