Abstract
This study investigates the relationships between media and music industry in the digital age. The musicians, listeners, and employees that are a part of the musical entertainment industry at present are an essential part of the cultural world. Recorded music production in particular has always been associated with mainstream media and has always taken popularity into account. This study also examines the importance of new media with regard to the producer and consumer of music. How have digital technologies affected the worlds of media and music? What differences can be found between traditional and new media in the context of the music industry and sociology? In this study, face-to-face interviews were conducted with musicians, listeners, employees of music companies, the media, and representatives of music companies. Pre-determined social media websites were observed, and the results were analyzed. Digital media is more commercialized and is serving capitalism to a greater extent through new technology. This study investigates democracy and equal opportunity in the global music industry, taking the principles of digital capitalism into account.
