This week, we welcome back CD Baby’s Director of Marketing, Kevin Breuner, also an indie musician himself, to chat about music streaming’s rapid growth over the last 10 years and how it became the backbone of the recorded music business. We chat about streaming’s pros and cons for its various stakeholders, who benefits from the current model and who doesn’t, and whether it’s ultimately been good for indie artists. Kevin also talks about the future impact of smart speakers on the industry and the potentially massive importance of Facebook and Instagram monetizing music.
