An unsparing investigation into Spotify’s origins and influence on music, weaving unprecedented reporting with incisive cultural criticism, illuminating how streaming is reshaping music for listeners and artists alike.

Drawing on over one hundred interviews with industry insiders, former Spotify employees, and musicians, Mood Machine takes us to the inner workings of today’s highly consolidated record business, showing what has changed as music has become increasingly playlisted, personalized, and autoplayed.

Building on her years of wide-ranging reporting on streaming, music journalist Liz Pelly details the consequences of the Spotify model by examining both sides of what the company calls its two-sided marketplace: the listeners who pay with their dollars and data, and the musicians who provide the material powering it all. The music business is notoriously opaque, but here Pelly lifts the veil on major stories like streaming services filling popular playlists with low-cost stock music and the rise of new payola-like practices.

For all of the inequities exacerbated by streaming, Pelly also finds hope in chronicling the artist-led fight for better models, pointing toward what must be done collectively to revalue music and create sustainable systems. A timely exploration of a company that has become synonymous with music, Mood Machine will change the way you think about and listen to music.

While the book itself is great, the audiobook however is of incredibly poor quality. Everbody who listens to the first minute of intro will already get the impression that this is no human voice but computer generated sound based on the authors voice. This makes it so awkward and difficult to listen to because sentences don't end properly and itsl is always the same pattern of strange pronounciation like a lazy student reading a text in a very bored but also nasty way. I listened to some interviews of Liz Pelly and she sounds a bit similar but not like this. I wonder if this is even legal... In the rare case this was really read by the author, someone should have stopped her early on and let it be read by someone else.

Poor reading quality due to AI voice. Interesting text however
