Vinyl's Comeback & the Rise of Music Streaming

Today on River to River, we explore the continuing changes in the music industry...including the fact that more and more users are listening from large online libraries of music – like Rhapsody, Spotify, or Pandora – rather than purchasing individual songs or albums. We also discuss why vinyl records are making a comeback.

Joining us: music veteran Tom Carolan, the founder and President of Total Live Music, Bob Herrington, Owner of Ragged Records in Davenport, Kembrew McLeod, an associate professor of communication studies at the University of Iowa, and Sean Moeller, the founder of Daytrotter.

Ben Kieffer is the host of IPR's River to River
