“…Sharing digital music was technically associated with the dominant technology of personal electronic communication (Facebook). This has been implied in previous research (Arhippainen & Hickey, 2011), but our results clearly show that Facebook is the medium for personal communication and music sharing.…”

“…We will look into how digital music services are used and perceived by young Finnish students. The study is informed by previous small scale explorations in Finland (Arhippainen & Hickey, 2011;Komulainen, Karukka, & Häkkilä, 2010), which have highlighted the role of YouTube and Spotify as prominent music sources. They have touched upon the themes that we have elaborated into the following research questions:…”

In this study we wanted to discover the most prominent technologies in listening to digital music and the reasons underlying the popular choices. We asked Finnish students what are their main sources of digital music and how they perceived these sources. We received over 700 responses to an Internet questionnaire. Among our discoveries, we found that on-demand music services, Spotify and YouTube, are the most popular. Many users utilize both actively. YouTube is more popular, possibly because it is more accessible, more socially connected, and satisfies many musical needs, but not solely because of its visual content. The perceived service characteristics are distinctive, but only greater musical serendipity was predictive of more frequent use of the service. We also find a preference for YouTube when sharing digital music with others. We discuss the relationship between perception and choice, and present directions for future research on music interaction and consumption. Keywords Sound and music computing; User studies; Social media; Web interfaces; Consumer products Research highlights  Introducing how interaction paradigms can be applied to analyze digital music interfaces  Presenting a survey study with over 500 respondents describing digital music listening practices and preferences  Documenting how two music services, YouTube and Spotify, are the most frequently used music sources for Finnish students in their early 20's  Highlighting YouTube as an accessible, shareable, and multi-functional music source used at least every week by 76% of respondents  Showing that although users have switched from intangible goods to digital music services, the interaction paradigms still remain the same

“…The social media phenomenon is something which needs to be encapsulated within this type of system, rather than continuing with a traditional, archaic model. Ultimately, software needs to be designed with an experience in mind (Arhippainen & Hickey 2011), rather than a specific set of tangible goals. Utility is about more than just functionality, but crafting a user experience which encompasses the practices and behaviors of people in this space (Zimmermann n.d.) How to approach this type of problem is, as yet, unsolved in commercial platforms.…”

The research herein describes the investigation of usability of software and hardware tools for musicians. Through an ethnographic approach, the aim is to broaden the scope of investigation and measure the usability of tools for musicians in a real world setting. Six musicians are observed through the planning and preparation stages, rehearsals, performing and postperformance in order to better understand the tools that they use and how these tools could be improved. This work builds on previous investigations into more traditional production environments. This investigation also explores how requirements and tools have changed. The research highlights main areas of usability problems in navigation, clarity of expression, problems in understanding flow and a mismatch between requirements and software tools that currently exist. The results highlight strengths in the flexibility of such systems and identify where they solve traditional, hardware based problems. The paper culminates in a discussion regarding the values, strengths and weaknesses of hard and soft tools and points to potential future directions of research.

“…The traditional way of music distribution from the production-house to the end-users is seeing a massive change in the form of emerging music streaming services with an aim to make-up for the losses. Previous research [2,3] has hinted about the importance of new music services, but we still know little of the intention to use such a music streaming service.…”

This paper presents a novel acceptance model for an online music streaming scenario of Thailand. The music streaming industry has been gaining in popularity in the recent times. This research has been conducted in order to measure the user attitude towards the use of this relatively new service using a modified version of the popular Technology Acceptance Model. We try to identify the most popular music-streaming service of Thailand and also the factors that affect the use of such a service. Data has been collected in the form of an online questionnaire survey from more than 300 participants for the purpose of model building and validation. A subsequent regression analysis carried out on the proposed model explains more than 60 percent of the variance of the dependent variable i.e. Behavioral Intention in our case to the predictor variables Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, Perceived Enjoyment and Perceived Satisfaction Level. The results show that Perceived Enjoyment and Perceived satisfaction are the two strongest predictors for Behavioral Intention which is quite different from that of the utilitarian type of information systems.
