Rezensionen

"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)."
