In this kind of music, the user has access to soundtracks with the help of digital music content websites, generally on a monthly subscription and free-to-access mode. However, the user cannot store it either in physical or in digital form. Spotify is an example of such service. Some digital music content websites offer the option to download music, giving users the ownership of the soundtrack, even without prior streaming. Some users prefer to buy soundtracks in the form of CDs. Other services include iTunes, where the user can download the tracks post subscription payment.
