Reviews for Consuming Music in the Digital Age: Technologies, Roles and Everyday Life

“This book examines the various methods the youth employs when listening to music, and how music consumption via digital technologies have shaped their lives. … Nowak does a splendid job in surveying music consumption in the digital age. While the theme carries a cultural-sociological approach, the book would appeal to researchers and academics in this field (especially under/postgraduate students).” (Shara Rambarran, Volume!, Vol. 55 (1), 2018)
