About this book

This book addresses the issue of music consumption in the digital era of technologies. It explores how individuals use music in the context of their everyday lives and how, in return, music acquires certain roles within everyday contexts and more broadly in their life narratives.

Reviews

“This book examines the various methods the youth employs when listening to music, and how music consumption via digital technologies have shaped their lives. … Nowak does a splendid job in surveying music consumption in the digital age. While the theme carries a cultural-sociological approach, the book would appeal to researchers and academics in this field (especially under/postgraduate students).” (Shara Rambarran, Volume!, Vol. 55 (1), 2018)
