This book examines the collection and curation of music, and the way 
digital streaming services are transforming the way we engage with the 
media.

The study foregrounds personal digital curation techniques, rather than 
algorithms or technology, to acknowledge the sustaining human agency 
involved in playlisting. The author looks at Digital Service Providers 
such as Spotify, Apple and Deezer, which offer their users not just 
access to large collections of music, but also the opportunity to create 
and maintain personalised consumption subsets such as playlists. 
Positioning these current playlisting practices as a remediation of 
significant cultural practices of the 20th century – such as collecting 
records and mix-taping – the book highlights the continuity of culture 
through media change, and the implications for concepts of self and 
identity, society and sharing.

Shedding new light on this contemporary cultural phenomenon, this book 
will be an important read for scholars who are interested in the area of 
digital music from different disciplines such as communication, digital 
humanities and social sciences in fields of media studies, digital 
cultures, personal information management, digital curation and popular 
music.
