Instead of buying music products, like CDs or even downloaded digital music files, today music is predominantly distributed via online music streaming. Therefore, it is mandatory for the music industry as well as researchers to determine which factors are affecting consumers intention to use music streaming services. This study aims to investigate drivers of Behavioral Intention (BI) to use a music streaming service. Particularly, aspects of social preferences in the context of music streaming will be explored. Therefore, a research model is created, based on the Value-based Adoption Model (VAM) (Kim et al., 2007) with an extension to take social factors into account. An online questionnaire with 102 participants was conducted to test the research model and the corresponding hypotheses. In order to evaluate reliable indications, some adjustments needed to be made resulting in a corrected research model. The final independent variables of the corrected model are Perceived Value (PV) (which is composed of Perceived Usefulness (PU) and Perceived Enjoyment (PE)), Perceived Ease of Use (PEU), Perceived Price Value (PPV), Facilitating Conditions (FC), Perceived Fairness (PF), Social Connectivity (SC), and Peer-Effects (PFX). The empirical results show that Perceived Value (PV), Perceived Price Value (PPV), and Perceived Fairness (PF) are determinants of consumers Behavioral Intention (BI) to use a music streaming service.}, language = {en} } @article{SteffensDinneenDonneretal.2024, author = {Steffens, Jochen and Dinneen, Jesse David and Donner, Sascha and Potthoff, Tom}, title = {'Alexa, play metal': exploring music selection and personal information management via voice assistants}, series = {Information Research an international electronic journal}, volume = {29}, journal = {Information Research an international electronic journal}, number = {2}, publisher = {University of Boras, Faculty of Librarianship, Information, Education and IT}, issn = {1368-1613}, doi = {10.47989/ir292646}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-44639}, pages = {50 -- 70}, year = {2024}, abstract = {Introduction. Music streaming services have changed how music is played and perceived, but also how it is managed by individuals. Voice interfaces to such services are becoming increasingly com-mon, for example through voice assistants on mobile and smart devices, and have the poten-tial to further change personal music management by introducing new beneficial features and new challenges. Method. To explore the implications of voice assistants for personal music listening and management we surveyed 248 participants online and in a lab setting to investigate (a) in which situa-tions people use voice assistants to play music, (b) how the situations compare to established activities common during non-voice assistant music listening, and (c) what kinds of com-mands they use. Analysis. We categorised 653 situations of voice assistant use, which reflect differences to non-voice assistant music listening, and established 11 command types, which mostly reflect finding or refinding activities but also indicate keeping and organisation activities. Results. Voice assistants have some benefits for music listening and personal music management, but also a notable lack of support for traditional personal information management activities, like browsing, that are common when managing music. Conclusion. Having characterised the use of voice assistants to play music, we consider their role in per-sonal music management and make suggestions for improved design and future research.}, language = {en} }
