We have been engulfed in the streaming era of music. This era is dominated by streaming/streams, globalization, and AI ghost writers. Recent findings from the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), show that recorded music profits have grown for ten consecutive years. Largely driven by paid subscription streaming (apple music and Spotify come to mind). That growth suggests stability in this new era but not...]]></description><link>https://www.ezistblog.com/post/my-take-on-the-ifpi-gmc-2025-report</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69a0fe2dfa78e209eb89d564</guid><pubDate>Fri, 27 Feb 2026 02:15:39 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>ezduncan2005</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[First Step in Communication App Development.]]></title><description><![CDATA[Here I have 2 articles I found that describe the different forms of communication technology apps.
