Do you remember South Park? Especially the episode about how music piracy makes those poor musicians switch from golden jets to regular ones? We actually thought about how it really works with free music.

Not long ago we posted about how music helps lift our mood or make us calm. Now we want to elaborate on that a little with some scientific background on what music does to our body and soul.

Have you ever wondered how musicians can make money from their music being played on Spotify or Apple Music? Music streaming platforms penetrate social media both naturally and in a planned manner. How?

You know, those funky little dudes that make the world go “1” instead of “0”. The same guys that make your phones apps run the way they were programmed are basically the same ones that make the space rockets follow their planned approaches towards the inevitable discovery of alien life forms. Scary? “0”.

How does music elevate us? Does it at all? If yes, how? (why so many questions?) You’ve probably noticed that while in your jam, you’re much more efficient at whatever you do. Or at least you feel like it.

Ok, here’s a thesis – streaming music is basically, like renting a house instead of buying it. But you don’t have to fall in debts to buy the latest album, so why streaming is so popular?

Remember when we released first version of STAMP? It was a desktop app, with ability to import from Spotify to Apple Music. Few months later we have extended Apple Music import to iOS, but unfortunatelly had to remove Apple Music from desktop version.

Spotify has recently IPO’ed, and its stock is available publicly to buy. The company is now under even closer watch from the public market, as it tries to beat the competition and compete in the market where it doesn’t really have any great distribution models.
