Out of over 200 labels Simfy, Spotify and Napster

The purchase of CDs or even vinyl records has declined rapidly in recent years. Reason for the comfortable buying music on the Internet. With iTunes and Amazon Music Store, it has never been easier his favorite songs or whole albums to buy and listen to them on mobile devices on the road. But some time ago came a new way of buying music in the spotlight. Providers such as Spotify, Napster and Simfy offer flat-rate music, with which you need for a certain basic amount their favorite music online as often as you want to hear. But exactly these providers have now suffered a severe blow.

Simfy, Spotify and Napster must remove titles from over 200 labels now. This followed group that says, according to a study by the NPD that stream provider harm the sales of physical disk and the affordable downloads. According to a survey, it is sufficient for many users only streamed to hear the title and they have not even on the hard disk. However, the music distributor STHoldings, representing over 200 labels made the decision. Affects mainly genres such as Dubstep, grime and bass and techno.

According to STHoldings it is here in the interest of the labels, because they can achieve very little sales on such platforms. Also, the usual sales on the Internet or in the Commerce should also greatly suffer. Still it wants the proposed title of the labels for particular Act. Spotify even responded to the decision of the labels and pointed out that it had already achieved that many users back pay for music and decreases the rate of illegal music downloads. While we respect the decision of the labels and is hoping for a change of mind.

Whether the said labels change their minds or even more labels to withdraw the offer at the music platforms, remains to be seen. Another aspect remains however, as many users choose to listen to their favourite song on the video platform YouTube is turn completely free of charge. Here are many labels already active and to decide whether their titles remain free of charge on the Web or to be removed.
