HOW DO YOU THINK THE MUSIC INDUSTRY HAVE CHANGHED BECAUSE OF THIS?Usually There are pros and cons, the approach is enormously rapid,having the chance to sneak peak the singles of your favourite bands before the release of the albums.Having the chance to discorver billoons of bands all over the globe.But it s also discouraging and not beneficial for musicians business losing there profit
