Why Music Downloads have Lost the X Factor



      Share

The accessibility of music has meant that it is taken for granted and does not require a deep emotional commitment once associated with music appreciation, say researchers from Leicester, Surrey and York.

 

It could account for the popularity of shows like the X factor where viewers can watch performers and engage with the programme – rather than simply download a track.

 

Music psychologists monitored 346 people over a two week period to evaluate how they related to music and came to the conclusion that people were now more passive than ever before in their consumption of music.
