We’re launching a brand new series for 2021 called System Shock. This season is about the rise of the mp3, iTunes, streaming and the disruption of modern music industry. Click here for more episodes: ua-cam.com/play/PLqq4LnWs3olWZfE2J2rlb-vOq0c-U23nZ.html Have an idea for a future season? Let us know in the comments!
Another idea. 1. How podcasts have taken over radio/ grown as a medium 2. UA-cam's shift from video repository to social media outlet creating influencers who live and die by the content they produce. 3. How the removal of the fairness doctrine and the advent of the 24 hr news cycle have changed mainstream media
That is a scary concept I for one am not ok with, having access to something at a drop of a hat also means it can be denied at a drop of a hat. There's a very real risk of this. At the very least having both options is not only acceptable, it should be persued. Those that can afford it, should own something tangable, those that can't should still be able to experience it, It's just fair.
Made musicians now less dependent on Music labels but more dependent on the social media companies, and I don't know which one is worse. In short, We're all youtubers now trying to catch Algorithms instead of making music. Musicians are having to be more DIY than ever, it's just not humane
I find it bizarre that they didn't mention where Napster is now. Right now their name is used for a music streaming service that used to be called Rhapsody. And ironically enough, compared to all of its competitors, Napster gives back the most money to artists than any other service. Funny how the tables have turned.
Merchandise: buy a 3 dollar production tshirt Slap on a picture charge 30 dollars for the finished product. Thats how merchandise work. Knew for years how Biebs made his
They jumped form 2002 to 2020. CD sales also failed because of the smart phone (aka iPhone) now you can take your phone, internet and music all on the go in one device.
They also kept on going down because of UA-cam like the entire engine is just destroyed it light they thought they were going to survive no bro we were going to that digital Life stuff from the beginning
You should have made mention to the extreme stranglehold the 4 major labels had on music prior to napster and then music streaming. They would decide essentially what would get played, and would take way more of the profits than they do now.
great mini-series. Bloomberg Quicktake, please do more like this, it was fascinating and uplifting, especially because the artists connecting directly with the listener is a great, and inevitable, future. Less money is charged to the listener and more money goes to the artist, there is no useless middleman. The bit at the end from Ross Solomon, founder of Tower Records, and Karlheinz Brandenberg, inventor of the MP3, just summed it all up perfectly. And, that 'access' is more important than 'ownership' 👍
What do you need music companies or record labels for anymore? Artists don't need recording contracts because they can record and stream themselves. Hire event managers, or course, for stadium gigs and festivals, but record companies are unnecessary. They don't contribute anything anymore. Anyone can upload to UA-cam and Spotify, and they can market through social networks. This is a great future for artists as they get all the money they deserve and to continue creating work for us, thank you artists
100% the fact that musicians rely on live concerts has seen a huge increase in international artists touring in Australia, I remember in the 90s hardly anyone would come now they all come
Really dope series.....it makes u wonder as computing innovation continues to grow, what industries will be changed for the better or worse. I feel the real estate and education industry will be vastly different 5-10 yrs from now due to computing innovation.
Nowadays even average people in my country love streaming music on Spotify, they didn't bother to have mp3 anymore. While me still follow on traditional path...
😁 That's not really somewhere u listen to music though, its an an-echoic chamber which dampens all acoustics or "room sounds". Those rooms are so quiet and eerie most people can't stand being there for more than 20 minutes because your own heartbeat becomes unnervingly loud. In professional studios you use similar techniques to prevent the room to "color" the sound too much. If you've ever noticed some bass notes being much louder than others for example, often happens in cars and small rooms, that's something you want to avoid when mixing a record or it will affect your decision making. But if the room is too dampened like in that chamber it makes the speakers sound muffled and dead, you need some of those sound waves to bounce around the room a little or else your brain doesn't know what's going on.
Since I am on youtube I create and maintain a personal favourite list for each year. For every year there are like a couple dozen videos on it. These three videos are definitely going to be on that list. Thank you, Bloomberg. Whoever claims journalism is dead is wrong. It is simply evolving, like many things nowadays.
Wow, what an excellent story. I tip my hat to probably one of the best pieces of journalism I have ever watched, and the closing scene with Karlheinz Brandenburg was not lost on me.
It's interesting to see that musicians themselves (have to) realize, that just picking up the guitar and microphone is not enough anymore. You are far more of a brand and a character to represent. It's all part of the digital evolution. The way we interact, the way we consume music, the way music as a business works, that all evolves with every new technical possibility. They have to adapt, the labels learned it the hard way. Besides, the adaption process is the same for everybody, in every other fields as well. See local retail Vs Amazon, cinema versus streaming video, and various other industries.
Loved this! A point to bring in aswel is that music is now alot cheaper to make, all you need is a laptop, software and a cheap mic and you could make a hit with the right skills.
The hippies were right all along with their relentless touring and allowing taping of the shows aka giving the music away while continuously selling out arenas. (grateful dead)
That is just so badly said. Mp3 files will always have their uses. And really, it is not about money. Most likely I am never going to use Spotify or any other streaming services like Netflix, but I AM going to buy more cd's, and movies for my shelves, AND use Mp3 to convert my albums for digital storage.
Awesome series. The confluence of mp3 tech and the internet in 2000 should be a lesson for those trying to control IP of physical designs in 2021, within the context of industry 4.0 and distributed manufacturing.
Cause the drink bring back the memories and what a trip down memory lane this was. Really amazing story telling and what stands out for me is innovate or die out
I think the passion that music collectors back in the day had is not really transferable to a bunch of MP3's on your computer or device. Maybe if you still collect and treasure Vinyl, you know the feeling. It's great that there is renewed focus on artists playing live concerts for fans.
It's interesting to look back @ this time. mp3 players were already eliminating the hassle of having to carry ALL your CDs or cassette tapes with you. yeah, remember those bulky binders? that alone was a great selling point. So, why did mp3 player manufacturers give consumers the option to store music they already owned onto their new devices? Video game consoles experimented with backwards compatibility but for the most part, you had to purchase the game AGAIN for the new consoles you purchased. There was also a lot of piracy protection imbedded into video game consoles which is one of the main reasons why piracy didn't hurt the video game industry as bad. The music industry really hurt themselves with that move. mp3s would have stayed within your home computer but having the ability to take all that music with you to listen to whenever you wanted, that’s the real magic here. and then on top of that, the music industry went after the consumer and tech industry when really it would have been more helpful to implement these internal changes instead smh.
I love that the series technically started with Brandenburg and ended with Brandenburg. He (as well his mentor) was the root cause of this music technology evolution.
Lenovo is releasing ar workstation glasses this summer 2021... Just need to wait around 1 year until ar workstations trickle down to normal comsumers...
Sweden had in effect a monopolized price on new CD's of $20 until 2005. Along with taxes on labor of 60 % for an average middle income of $24 k is the reason for the Piracy. Moonshine and smuggled cigarettes were extremely popular and still are. The cheapest bottle of Vodka was $35 US ( State Monopoly ) and the cheapest beer was $7 in a Restaurant when Napster was born. In 1999 I had to work a full hour at a factory ( that had syndicated and regulated pay ) to be able to afford 1 Beer at 5 % alcohol. I had to work 1 hour ( again at a syndicated and regulated pay ) to be able to afford 1 and a half gallons of gas. This was not Cuba or the SOVIET Union. This was Sweden in 1999 and the improvement of the average buying power is only slightly better today. This is what happens when ordinary income is taxed beyond 50 % along with a 350 % tax on gas and high taxes + Monopoly on pretty much everything. People own a car but take the Bus or bike to work. Cars are weekend darlings that are not affordable to actually use on a daily basis.
I remember a college buddy showing off his new car with a 6 disc changer. This was at the beginning of the 2000s. I remember already thinking, "so what".
In 2021, successful recording artists analyzing existing songs, and research what songs maximize downloads. Celebrity is prioritized over musical and song writing ability. Its lead to music that targets the lowest common denominator. Music and art should not focus on being "sellable". It should ficus on being original and interesting.
Every generation said this about their kid's music. The record companies used to do this analysis and made bands that met the marks, for example, The Monkees. The more things change, the more they stay the same
I wonder why UA-cam is not getting discussed. Not even for second. Come on UA-cam might not be the mainstream song streaming app... but damn why don't you regard about music videos. I thing you should have included UA-cam on your video Bloomberg
UA-cam music was used to be google play music that is recently defuncted by Google (actually they are separate), so people get forced to use UA-cam music and pay to hear music on background
I don't think you're going to go back to a concert again the German phobic stuff that we're going to have is going to be around for a little longer than a year. It's most likely going to stay for at least a decade
Anyone familiar with an early 2000's web series called The Scene? It was about a guy called Drosan who was part of a movie piracy group, it was formatted mostly via screen recordings of his desktop, showing IRC/AIM chats, ripping software, communications with workers at film studios who would provide the films etc. If you want to get a real feel for that era of the internet I highly recommend you check it out if you can find it! It also had an awesome soundtrack.

I love how one of the industry giant concede at the end "it's way of life ..." even though it sucks 🤣
What a Series by Bloomberg, they kept me entertaining all time long
I'd pay 99c for this series
This was amazing. Thank you!
Anyone familiar with an early 2000's web series called The Scene? It was about a guy called Drosan who was part of a movie piracy group, it was formatted mostly via screen recordings of his desktop, showing IRC/AIM chats, ripping software, communications with workers at film studios who would provide the films etc. If you want to get a real feel for that era of the internet I highly recommend you check it out if you can find it! It also had an awesome soundtrack.
Not everyone can tour or sponsorships. Lots of artists are getting screwed.
