How To Choose A New Record

It used to be very common for music lovers to hear a song on the radio and rush out to buy the artist's album only to find that it contained one good song. Not only was the customer disappointed with the purchase, they were several pounds out of pocket.

The methods used to avoid this were usually ones associated with patience. This involved waiting until the artist released another song from that album to see whether they liked it or not. The problem with that is it may be another month or two before they would release another single and it also may not be a true representation of the whole album.

The other option is to wait for a friend to buy the album and then borrow it from them. However, the next problem is to find a friend with the record who is willing to let you borrow it. It is all very tedious and a time consuming process and sometimes you're better off just waiting for the next single or two.

Nowadays, thanks to music streaming these problems need not exist. Streaming enables to you to listen to clips of an artist's songs and albums and judge for yourself whether you'd want to buy it or not. Some shopping sites will have clips last for 30 to 40 seconds but give a general impression of what the track is like and what hooks it has, but now more and more sites will let you listen to full songs, with a small royalty going to the artist.

This is available on music media sites like MySpace, iTunes and Sky Songs. The option of simply downloading the one song is available to you too. If, for example, you like a song and want to know what the album by that artist is like, you can stream the whole record via one of these music media sites and judge for yourself. If you're not a fan of the record as whole but enjoy a particular song, it is possible to download that one song.

Music streaming has opened doors for people to hear artists that are similar to ones that they listen to already but they might not have heard of. This is because some sites keep track of the music you stream and find artists that you may enjoy of a similar genre. This is good for both music lovers and the artists involved as it helps them to reach out to a broader audience that might never have got the chance to listen to them before.
