  Rob – a question for you to begin with: how do you buy your music?
Rob，我要先问你一个问题：你怎么购买音乐？
Good question. Well I buy my music on CD.
好问题。我通常购买音乐光盘。
On CD. Well today, in the programme we’re going to talk about the rise of what we call streaming – and look at the language of online music.
音乐光盘。好的，今天的节目中我们要讨论流式媒体的兴起，并谈谈在线音乐语言。
Yes, let’s define streaming first, shall we? Streaming is a way of watching or listening to media online – audio or video - where you don’t need to wait for it to finish downloading – it plays instantly.
首先我们来定义下流式媒体。它是一种聆听或观看在线媒体的方式。不管是音频还是视频，都可立即播放，不必等它完成下载。
And it’s becoming very popular. So, we have a question for you, Rob.
这种媒体正变得越来越流行。那么Rob，我要再问你一个问题。
OK.
好的。
Which song was the most streamed song of 2012 in the UK, according to the music streaming service Spotify? a) Gotye – Somebody that I used to know, b) Carly Rae Jepsen – Call me maybe, c) David Guetta - Titanium
根据流媒体音乐服务提供商Spotify的排行，下面哪首歌曲是2012年英国最流的音乐？是Gotye的“Somebody that I used to know”，Carly Rae Jepsen的“Call me maybe”还是David Guetta的“Titanium”？
Ok well I’ll have to confess, as I’ve only heard of David Guetta, I shall go for him.
呃，我不得不承认我只知道David Guetta，所以我选C吧。
Ok well you’re showing your age there Rob. We’ll find out if you are right at the end of this programme. Now, Spotify – is one of the several streaming sites like Pandora and Deezer, and it has been in the news this week because it is now expanding its business into Asia and Latin America.
呵呵，这样一选可是暴露了你的年龄。我们将在节目最后揭晓答案，看你的回答是否正确。首先，我们来谈谈Spotify。它和Pandora、Deezer类似，是一家流媒体网站。本周新闻对其进行了报道，因为它正在登陆亚洲和拉丁美洲市场。
Let’s hear from Spotify employee Jim Butcher explaining how the site works. Listen out for another word for a song.
接下来让我们听听其员工Jim Butcher对该网站运作方式的解释。注意听其中的音乐术语。
So, whereas on an mp3 store where you have to buy each track or any album, you get access to 20 million songs. Let me just put in someone like The Rolling Stones, for instance.So, the most popular Rolling Stones track on Spotify: Paint it black. So I just played it, clicked the button and it’s instant. It’s as if you basically had millions and millions of songs downloaded to your computer already.
若在MP3商店购买音乐，你得先买下全部歌曲或每张专辑，然后才能访问2000万首歌曲。拿滚石乐队来说吧。Spotify上该乐队最受欢迎的歌曲是“Paint it black”。我只需单击按钮，它便可立即播放。就好像所有歌曲都已下载到了电脑里一样。
Paint it Black by the Rolling Stones. Are you a fan, Rob?
滚石乐队的Paint it Black。Rob，你是他们的歌迷吗？
I do like a bit of Stones now and again, definitely.
算是吧，恩，我确定我喜欢他们。
I do too. So, did we hear the other word for a song? Yes, a track is an individual song or part of a recording.
