“…Music quality can also be influenced by factors such as the recording and audio compression technology (Fazekas & Sandler, ; Kowalgin & Gamage, ) and is also primarily determined by subjective feelings (Usher, ). However, sound quality is one of the most difficult characteristics to measure (Tang, Chen, & Tsai, ).…”

Technological developments have had a profound effect on modern music acquisition, allowing people to share music over the Internet for free. The research identifies the antecedents of consumers' attitudes and intentions to acquire music from various channels. The paper reports findings of a structured questionnaire survey of university students in the United Kingdom and Greece (n = 511). Using structural equation modeling, the authors conclude that consumers' intention to acquire music via a legal channel is influenced by idolatry (IDL), the perceived quality of music (PQM), the perceived likelihood of punishment (PLP; digital legal channel only), and their subjective norm. On the other hand, intention to acquire music via an illegal channel is influenced by the perceived benefits of piracy. The price of legitimate music was only significant for the illegal street vendor channel, whereas IDL had a positive effect on illegal downloading. Gender had moderating effects on PLP and attitude, and income-moderated attitude and intention from P2P platforms. The findings carry important implications for academic researchers, practitioners, and policymakers.

Summary: The article is devoted to exploration of the functions of visual thinking in the formation of spatial representations in human knowledge, which help to recognize the meanings of musical compositions. The purpose of this work is to study “visual” ways of spatial perception of musiсal works, in which eye-mindedness of the composer is implemented in specific operation by expressive means of music. Methods of hermeneutics, comparativistics, musicological analysis and interdisciplinary approach are used to realize this purpose. Principles of visual perception – simplicity and influence of geometric form on emotional properties of the object in music – are regarded as an example to show how they act. Principle of simplicity is evident in the organization of the form of “second plan” which unites multiple-part structures in music, tonal development, according to the type of “the highest order functions”. Influence of geometric form on emotional properties of the object in music is defined by the correlation of statics and dynamics in the development of a musical work; in semantics of geometrical figures “visualizing” in the graphic of melodic line or form of texture, which is supported by musical examples. We draw the conclusions that the existence of these principles in music helps to structure and store information about music in simple mental models, which are easy to recall. Interaction of means of musical expression gradually forms an in the consciousness of the listener, which contains certain spatial and visual characteristics, helping to recognize its real prototype, its artistic sense and meanings. Finally, the ontology of the category of space itself causes availability of a number of universal laws that ensure the convergence of different types of art in the act of artistic creativity and perception. It can be stated that the process of musical perception is dependent on the proceeding and results of different kinds of thinking, which are based on the already available knowledge about the reality and specifics of its reflection. Important components in perception are the nature of the organization of thought processes – attention, imagination, memory; the pace at which thought operations are performed – analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization, concretization and abstraction, and a variety of other internal human properties and qualities. Understanding these patterns is possible not only based on the study of human psychophysiology, but also, on the contrary, through the study of the principles of the impact of art on man in an interdisciplinary aspect.
