As of January 16, streamers now have a 500-song library of pre-approved music to select from.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"irc_mi\" class=\" alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/wac.7725.edgecastcdn.net\/807725\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Twitch-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"241\" height=\"156\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not a streamer, but 500 songs sounds like an incredibly limited selection for those who stream for more than a couple of hours a day. Twitch is promising to continually add new titles, and does have a way for independent artists to submit their music, so hopefully we&#8217;ll see more than EDM titles in the mix soon.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Along with this announcement, Twitch is adding a new Music category for artists to stream live performances. They&#8217;re promising that gaming will still be the core focus of the site, but it definitely sounds like they&#8217;re trying to appeal to a broader audience.<\/p>\n<p>In a digital world, music streaming is still trying to find it&#8217;s niche. Could this be it? How would Twitch evolve if their Music category takes off? Personally, I&#8217;m curious to see where these changes take us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nShortly before Twitch was purchased last year by Amazon, the company implemented an audio recognition process that automatically muted copyrighted&hellip;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?p=14700\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;Twitch Introduces Music&rdquo;<\/span>&hellip;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":14754,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[10],"tags":[262],"class_list":["post-14700","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","tag-featured","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
