Research For Music Video: What I have learned about the state of the Music Industry in 2012

Many aspects of the music industry have changed hugely over the last decade, this includes; sales of music products (CD's), ways in which people can produce music, the ways in which music is now distributed and also how music is exchanged between the people who own the music and the people who listen to it.

A while ago, all music would of been recorded within a professional recording studio with basic recording equipment, whereas now, people are able to record music within their own homes using their own personal computer and studio.

In addition, going back ten years ago, music was primarily distributed to the general public through Television adverts, radio stations and various magazine articles, however, now it is widely distributed through the internet as well as TV.
Phone devices/features such as bluetooth has also been a massive help in distribution, with millions of people sending music to each other everyday.

Ways of exchange has also changed greatly over the last decade, with people now downloading music for free via the internet in opposed  to purchasing CD's and records from music stores.
