Patterns and Motives of Digital Music Consumption
This paper examines the buying and free downloading patterns of recorded music of a representative sample of Spaniards. The methodology combines latent class models and correspondence analysis to simultaneously identify the patterns of buying-downloading and the socioeconomic correlates of music consumers. Findings distinguish between non, low, moderate and high music buying and downloading consumer types, suggesting a generational dimension in music buying and downloading behaviour. Young-students download more than anyone else but reduce their downloading as they get older and wealthier. Buying, instead, grows until it reaches a peak at their 30s and then goes down.
