Music has been around as long as humans. It is part of our lives, and it probably always will be. But the way we listen to music is always changing. First, we could only hear music if it was played right in front of us. Now, we can listen to songs that are recorded on the other side of the world!
Spotify is an app that allows people to listen to all the music in the world. It costs $10 a month, which is a really good deal for all those songs. Streaming your favorite artist’s music from anywhere is easy using Spotify. Many people think streaming music from home is a novel idea.
Gary just signed up for Spotify. Find out what Sara thinks in today’s English lesson about a new way to listen to music.

Gary: Hey Sara, do you still buy CDs?
Sara_R: I do, sometimes. I buy them used.
Gary: You do? I actually signed on to a service called Spotify.
Sara_R: What is Spotify?
Gary: It’s really great. It’s revolutionized the listening experience. You can listen to any artist.
Sara_R: How? What do you mean?
Gary: So it’s a web service, and so you’re streaming music from the web onto your phone or onto your computer. And you don’t have to worry about buying specific music. You can just listen to all these new artists, or old artists.
Sara_R: So, it’s capitalizing on streaming. How much does is it cost?
Gary: It’s only $10 a month.
Sara_R: That’s kind of a steal.
Gary: It really is. So, it is hopefully stopping people from pirating music.
Sara_R: Oh yeah.
Gary: Because there are so many people just stealing CDs or stealing things from the web.
Sara_R: Right.
Gary: It’s such a novel idea, because you never have to buy music again. Because it’s just $10 a month for all of this music.
Sara_R: That is totally revolutionary.
Gary: I agree.
Sara_R: I’m going to try it.
Gary: Yeah!
