Catchup with Rosarie

Quite a few questions for my supervisor this time

Literature review (any comments?) Transcripts and coding, emerging themes ( axial coding step) Skeleton for dissertation draft How to approach the methodology and the survey How to present transcripts and appendices (i.e survey questions, interview questions, codes, thematic schemas) ---> go back once the dissertation is underway

Compare and contrast how Millennial music enthusiasts relate to physical music collections (CDs, vinyl records, etc.) and music streaming services.

Preparing the dissertation draft

  • Telling a story based on what was found from the interviews and the survey

Going over the themes and further refining them

  1. Curating music collection

    • Where to find the music
    • Music selection process
    • Limitations (physical space and cost)
  2. The intangible values of music

    • Cognitive value (emotional connection, listening to music as a standalone activity, music as a background noise)
    • Social value (self-presentation, sharing music, live events)
  3. Convenience as the overarching priority across all aspects

    • Reliability
    • Practicality (immediacy)
