Resumen:
Sumario:This article describes the impact digital technology had on the international recording industry, since 1995 up to this date. It does so through the assessment of the changes in commercialization, production, and distribution of music while also looking into the new habits from the consumers. The aim of the article is thus the description of how a series of inventions developed in the last twenty years (broadband, computers, multimedia, smartphones, P2P services and online communities) have changed the business models in the music sector.
