The past (as far as 5 years ago)
We consumed music mostly from YouTube. We had to know what band and what song we wanted to listen to in advance, we entered our search query, got the results, and here goes the music.
The present
A vast majority of us still consume music on YouTube. Same drill as before, with a bit of artificial help from YouTube’s side.
Some of us are paying a decent amount for monthly subscriptions on nice platforms like Spotify, Pandora, Deezer, Google Play Music and Apple Music. These services give us the same value as YouTube with the benefits of better audio quality.
Those platforms try to enrich our experience with various music discovery algorithms and some niche features most of us don’t use.
While Spotify, Apple, Google and some other services keep fighting for the throne, this fight is starting to get a new contender.

There is a quite trend being developed in the background of this “game of thrones.” A trend in which these platforms, together with YouTube become “Backbone platforms” that modern type music platforms are being based on. These platforms are from the real-time and collaborative era.

These platforms are from the real-time and collaborative era, like lisn, flomusic and BeatSense.com.
These platforms add a layer that reduces some of the noises from the backbone platforms and adds features that turns online music into a whole new experience,
