musical production and consumption.
Musical production and consumption has changed drastically in the 21st century. Music is now much easier to make, find, and acquire, especially (as I’ve discussed before) via the Internet and other such computerized technologies. Now, with programs like Garage Band, almost anyone can become a “musician” by singing into their computer’s microphone with an auto tuned voice and a few simple beats. They can then place their songs on websites like MySpace and become discovered and downloaded by anyone with Internet access. I think that it’s pretty great, the amount of music now available to us. I can’t imagine only being able to hear music when someone chooses to play it on the radio. I’m really glad that we now have more chance to hear the music of our own choosing.

I like that we have more ways of finding new music too. I've played around on Garage Band before but I'm not very good at it even though it's a lot of fun. But I agree, it's way easier to find music these days using the internet.
