- Abstract
- Music distribution today and tomorrow - from the perspective of the music publisher, the music producer and the artist.
The purpose of this study was to assess how a music publisher, a music producer and an established artist experience the music distribution of today and how, in their specific perspectives, it may look like in the future. This qualitative study is based upon in depth interviews with predefined drafts of questions and subsequent transcription and systematic analysis of the outcome. All participants in the study were supposed to be established and experienced in the music business.
In both physical and digital music distribution, the product is sent to a “warehouse” that stores the product with subsequent allocation to... (More) - Music distribution today and tomorrow - from the perspective of the music publisher, the music producer and the artist.

This qualitative study is based upon in depth interviews with predefined drafts of questions and subsequent transcription and systematic analysis of the outcome. All participants in the study were supposed to be established and experienced in the music business.
In both physical and digital music distribution, the product is sent to a “warehouse” that stores the product with subsequent allocation to each respective retailer. The “warehouse” has contracts with various digital retailers. The music publisher/music producer/artist thus only needs to have one contract, i.e. with the warehouse and not with each individual retailer. As a consequence of the reduction on sales that followed the establishment of illegal file sharing, legal services for online purchase of music have been created, e.g. streaming based services like Spotify or online stores like iTunes.
The study participants unanimously stated that legal services for online purchase of music, in synergy with social network sites, will constitute the main force of future music distribution. (Less) - Abstract (Swedish)

Undersökningen är en kvalitativ intervjustudie med fördefinierade förslag till in-tervjufrågor med efterföljande transkription och systematisk analys av intervjuutfallet. Informanterna utgjordes av en representant från ett musikförlag, en musikproducent samt en artist, samtliga inom branschen väletablerade med gedigen erfarenhet kring ämnet.
Den fysiska och den digitala musikdistributionen hanteras på samma sätt i den bemärkelsen att i båda fall skickas produkten till ett centrallager, varifrån den i sin tur distribueras till respektive återförsäljare. När det gäller den digitala distributionen görs ett avtal mellan musikförlaget/musikproducenten/artisten och centrallagret, som i sin tur har avtal med samtliga digitala plattformar där produkten kommer att säljas. I och med introduktionen av internet kom den illegala fildelningen, vilken medförde en minskning i försäljningen av musik. Detta kom att leda till nya legala varianter för försäljning av musik via internet. Exempel på sådana är streamingtjänster så som Spotify och internetbaserade butiker så som iTunes.
Alla studiedeltagare angav att den framtida musikdistributionen kommer att baseras på de nya legala internetbaserade försäljningsmodaliteterna i synergi med sociala medier. (Less)
