Description
The digitization of music has altered consumption practices - people now have the ability to listen to music in many more places and at any time (Krause, et al., 2015). Indeed, music listening is embedded into everyday life and often happens while people are doing other activities (Krause, et al., 2015). People are aware of what music they need to hear in different situations and times (DeNora, 2000; see also Krause, et al., 2021), often selecting music that ‘fit’ their purpose, goal, or the situation in some way (Krause & North, 2014). Yet, understanding the factors that influence contextual listening choices still requires research (Kamalzadeh et al., 2012; Krause & North, 2017). The proposed research would focus on understanding the contextual influences on people’s everyday listening experiences.
