The economies of making music have always been complicated and not always fair to artists. His blog post on the Trichordist titled "My Song Got Played on Pandora 1 Million Times and All I got was $16.89, Less Than What I Make from a Single T-Shirt Sale!" includes a scan of his own royalty payouts from various services (Exhibit A). David Lowery from Cracker has received some sympathetic press coverage for drawing attention to the abysmally low royalty rates streaming services pay artists. Internet streaming of music is not without its discontents, however.
Our first playlist, is culled from highlights from our most recent bulk purchase in May 2013: We’ve decided to pull back the curtain on some of these processes to bring you behind the scenes, and thus reveal some of this magic with a hat tip to the art and the spirit of the Mix Tape. Librarians at the Free Library already use Spotify as part of the decision making process about which CDs to purchase for our fellow Philadelphians, as well as to answer certain kinds of musical questions. If you do have an account you will be able to stream our curated playlists instantly from blog posts such as this, or follow us from your own Spotify Client. If you haven’t already registered for Spotify accounts you will need to do so in order to enjoy our experiments with the platform. Please welcome Free Library Spotify to our community of electronic resources. Today the Free Library unveils a new resource for listeners.
