Musikdelning mellan kolleger: sociala avigsidor och möjligheter
Mer intressanta studier.
New Scientist Digital music-sharing stirs social tensions berättar om en studie kring arbetskollegers delning av musik via nätverk. Jag vet inte om det är så farligt, men det är intressant att man försöker att skapa en "persona" med sin musiksmak.
Sharing a digital music collection with co-workers can be fraught with social perils, a study of US office workers has revealed.
...
Participants confessed to forming judgements about co-workers based on the taste - or lack of taste - revealed by their music collection. Many also admitted to tailoring their own music library to project a particular persona, and some said they deliberately hid particularly embarrassing tracks from others.
...
Participants also took great care selecting the songs included in their collection. For example, one admitted to copying new CDs just to make his personal music library seem more "balanced".
Tydligen så sökte man inte efter ny musik utan låtar man känner igen. Sociologen Mike Ayers (som har bloggen Michael D. Ayers) kommenterar att detta could be compared to scanning someone's CD collection and picking out something you're familiar with.
Om möjligheterna i allt detta kommenterar Ayers med:
Ayers suggests that personal playlists linked to online music stores could eventually prove very popular. "You can create your own iTunes playlist for people to buy," he adds. "I think that's revolutionary, in terms of the technology, public space, capital, and sharing taste."
Studien som refereras är Amy Voida: Listening in: Practices surrounding iTunes music sharing (PDF).
Abstract:
This paper presents a descriptive account of the social practices surrounding the iTunes music sharing of 13 participants in one organizational setting. Specifically, we characterize adoption, critical mass, and privacy; impression management and access control; the musical impressions of others that are created as a result of music sharing; the ways in which participants attempted to make sense of the dynamic system; and implications of the overlaid technical, musical, and corporate topologies. We interleave design implications throughout our results and relate those results to broader themes in a music sharing design space.
