They make money from adverts – advertisements; or from monthly subscriptions – some users pay a certain amount every month to get access to all the songs without adverts.
他们靠广告或月度订阅赚钱。有些用户为了获得所有歌曲而无插播广告,会每月支付一定的费用。
And the bands make a small amount of money every time a song is clicked on.
每次单击收听歌曲,乐队也可赚到少量的钱。
And in Sweden, where Spotify is based, there’s a lot of clicking happening: over 90% of digital music income is from streaming now. But Spotify is facing competition, as we will hear from BBC reporter Maddy Savage. Listen out for another phrase for audience.
Spotify总部设在瑞典,有很大的访问量,超过90%的数字音乐收入都来自流式媒体。但它也面临着竞争。请听BBC记者Maddy Savage的报道,并听出另一个修饰观众的短语。
Apple and Google are both preparing to launch streaming services, the French business Deezer is a growing international brand, and there are dozens of smaller companies attracting a rising user base, especially in the US, India and South Korea, although all of them face an ongoing battle with copyright issues and illegal piracy.
苹果和谷歌正准备推出流媒体服务,法国Deezer正逐渐变成国际品牌。其他几十家小公司(尤其在美国、印度和韩国)也正在吸引越来越多的用户,尽管它们一直面临着非法盗版与版权问题。
Well, the term they used there was user base, the number of users of their service.
记者刚刚用到了user base一词,指接受服务的用户数量。
Although Spotify has a user base of around 24 million, if Apple and Google launch –or start - streaming services, we can expect they’ll provide a lot of competition.
尽管Spotify的用户数量已达2400万,但若苹果和谷歌推出流媒体服务,势必会带来很大竞争。
And for all the streaming sites – they face continuing or ongoing battles with two things – copyright issues and illegal piracy.
所有流媒体网站都面临着两场持久战——版权问题及非法盗版。
That’s right Finn, streaming sites don’t always have agreements with the record labels – the companies who own and sell the music – which means there are often copyright issues.The other issue is piracy – which is illegally copying and selling music, or movies or software.
没错,流媒体网站并不能始终与唱片公司(拥有并出售音乐的公司)达成一致,因此引发了版权问题。另一个问题是盗版,即非法复制、销售音乐、电影或软件的行为。
But this rise of streaming and downloads is by no means the same everywhere – in Germany and Japan, for example, both technologically advanced countries, Rob can you tell me what percentage of people still buy music in physical format, like yourself, on CD?
但流媒体音乐并未在所有国家兴起,比如德国和日本。两国技术都很先进,但流媒体音乐却没那么流行。Rob,你知道有多少德国人和日本人还像你那样购买实体形式音乐吗?
Probably something like 20% of people?
差不多20%?
Well, you’d be surprised that it’s actually three quarters of all music sales in Germany and Japan are in physical format.Anyway, let’s go right back to the beginning, which track was the most streamed track on Spotify last year? The answer is…
说出来你一定会惊讶,在德国和日本,实体形式音乐的销售额可占四分之三。好了,还是回到最开始的问题。去年Spotify上最流的歌曲是什么?答案是。。。
That must be Gotye? I know my music really.
应该是Gotye吧?
Gotye, yes. ’Somebody that I used to know’ was the most streamed track in 2012.Now, one more thing before we go. Let’s remind ourselves of the musical words and phrases from today.
没错,答案是Gotye。他的“Somebody that I used to know”排在2012年流音乐榜首。节目已接近尾声,让我们一起回顾下今天听到的音乐术语。
