The history of music streaming can be traced back to the early 2000s when services such as Napster, Rhapsody, and Pandora began offering streaming options. In the late 2000s, other services such as Spotify and Deezer joined the streaming music market. By 2012, streaming had become the main source of revenue for the music industry, surpassing digital downloads and physical formats. As streaming services have grown, they have adapted to different markets, incorporating social features to create richer user experiences as well as creating exclusive content. Nowadays, streaming services operate in different countries across the world and are a major player in the global music industry.
