Music is a compilation of sounds created to form a pleasurable audible experience. Entities have applied blockchain technology to a growing number of areas, and the music industry is no exception. With the help of blockchain, many processes can be improved, including music streaming, monetization and more. Blockchain technology can replace reliance on middlemen in the music scene in a number of ways, as well as help track ownership of rights. Some projects have built music solutions on Ethereum’s blockchain, although “Ether music” is not an especially befitting title in any sense.
Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies also serve as payment avenues. Using Bitcoin for music purchases can add convenience and versatility to the blockchain music industry and the music sector as a whole, depending on the involved parties.
