The Sweet, Streaming Sound of Data

With the industry turning digital, music companies can now understand their customers’ listening habits in greater depth than ever before, which has led to fierce competition over access to data.

Both of those deals centered on the ability of social media to point the way to the next big hit. - Ben Sisario, The New York Times
